A crypto analyst has predicted that Litecoin price is set for more gains in the near term after it soared by 160% from its lowest level in August.

The coin was trading at $130 on Monday, a few points below this month’s high of $140.

Litecoin price to break out – analyst

In an X post, Mike, a popular crypto analyst with over 47k followers, predicted that the coin’s rally is just beginning.

He noted that the coin jumped by 9,730% in 2017 and 587% in 2021.

He also cited the Fibonacci patterns, which he expects will push the Litecoin price to $1,440, which is a 1,000% jump from the current level.

$LTC has been rising significantly every time it breaks the trend.

In the first breakout in 2017, it rose 9730% in 301 days.

In the second breakout in 2021, it rose 587% in 203 days.

And the trend line breakout occurred in this cycle.

Other analysts are bullish on Litecoin, as its utility rises. In a recent statement, the developers noted that the Litecoin network handled over 3 million transactions in the last two weeks. This makes it the most active year for the Litecoin network in the last 13 years of its history.

Crypto pros see the LTC coin making a strong breakout as Ripple did recently. That’s because the coin has historically done better than Bitcoin during bull markets. Also, the network’s hash rate has jumped to a record high of 1.44 Phash/s, much higher than where it started the year at.

A hash rate is a metric that looks at the health of a proof of network crypto by looking at the number of calculations that can be done per second. It looks at the computational power of the network. A higher figure is usually a sign of a network’s health.

Litecoin price analysis: daily chart

The daily chart shows that the Litecoin price resembles that of most altcoins. Like the others, it has formed a cup and handle pattern. It also formed a golden cross as the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages crossed each other.

The coin is now forming a bullish flag or pennant pattern. This pattern is made up of a long vertical line and some consolidation at the top. Therefore, if it happens well, there are rising chances that it will stage a strong breakout.

If this happens, the initial target to watch will be $200, which is about 70 points above the current level. That move will depend on whether Bitcoin rises and flips the resistance at $100,000.
