LTC price jumped about 8.3% on July 2 to $116, its highest since April 2022. Its week-to-date returns climbed to over 30%, making it the best week for Litecoin since November 2021.LTC/USD daily price chart. Source: TradingView


Traders have flocked to purchasing Litecoin in the weeks leading up to its halving on Aug. 3. The event will effectively reduce Litecoin network"s mining reward per block from 12.5 LTC to 6.25 LTC and theoretically reduce the amount of new supply. 


For instance, independent market analyst Crypto Tony believes Litecoin can rally toward $140 ahead of the halving. Michael van de Poppe, another analyst, expects the price to reach $200 around the event.

In addition to the halving, Litecoin price rallied due to its listing on EDX Markets, a new institutional crypto exchange backed by firms including Citadel Securities, Fidelity Digital Assets and Charles Schwab Corp.


Furthermore, BlackRock"s Bitcoin ETF filing with the SEC, which prompted other top financial institutions to do the same, has given Litecoin and other crypto assets a boost.

The latest bout of buying in the Litecoin market has left it in an "overbought" state.


Notably, Litecoin"s daily relative strength index (RSI) was above 70 on July 2, raising chances of a correction in the coming days. Suppose it happens. Then LTC price could return to $100 as a test of this key support level. LTC/USD daily price chart. Source: TradingView


A decisive close below $100 opens the door for a test of its 50-day exponential moving average (50-day EMA; the red wave) near $90. Conversely, a bounce from $100 positions LTC/USD for more upside.

Supported by strong fundamentals, Litecoin could therefore rise toward $130, a resistance level from January-April 2022. This level is also near the upper trendline of LTC"s ongoing ascending channel trajectory, as shown in the weekly chart below.
