Litecoin price forecast: what next as LTC drops to key support?

  • Litecoin trades near $112, just in the green on the day but at risk of fresh losses.
  • The LTC price hovers at key support level as bulls attempt to hold bears off.
  • Bullish crypto market and catalysts such as spot Litecoin exchange-traded funds could help LTC go higher.

Litecoin (LTC) is trading at $112, about 2% up in the last 24 hours, but in the red over the past week and month time frames.

Meanwhile, the 24-hour trading volume of $694 million is more than 22% down on the previous day as top altcoins look to bounce.

As LTC price drops towards the $110 level, can bulls hold onto gains or is the altcoin poised for a revisit of the psychological $100 mark and lower?

Litecoin price forecast: Is LTC set for a revisit of $90 next?

Litecoin price has broken below the middle line of an ascending channel pattern. Price at $112 suggests a broader crypto pullback could accelerate LTC’s dip to support at $100 and possibly to $90.

The technical indicators on the daily chart support a likely flip lower, with RSI and MACD giving sellers the upper hand.

Open Interest has also dropped slightly, down to $994 million from the record highs of $1.27 billion hit recently as LTC spiked.  OI in Litecoin futures does notably remain higher than the lows of $800 million seen in early August.

A break above $120 could thus allow bulls to test the upper channel barrier near $140 and aim for the psychological $200 mark.

While the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows a bearish crossover from mid-August and prints red histogram bars, a mixed setup has other indicators signaling potential resilience.

For instance, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart sits at 46, but is upsloping to suggest buyers could keep off a fresh dip towards the oversold territory.

If RSI pops above the neutral point of 50 and market conditions align, LTC could see the above scenario play out.

What could help Litecoin price higher?

Network growth, including a significant hashrate spike, suggests confidence in the proof-of-work coin.

This and market sentiment point to a scenario where bulls ride the overall crypto uptick in the coming months to drive higher.

The upcoming approval of spot ETFs, with Litecoin among those with notable high odds of a nod, add to this outlook.

In this case, the SEC’s October 2025 decisions on spot Litecoin ETFs from Grayscale, Bitwise, and CoinShares, which carry a 90% approval probability, per Bloomberg analysts, could be huge catalysts.

Experts say a SEC approval for LTC spot ETFs could drive institutional inflows of up to $500 million in Litecoin at launch, printing the trajectory that saw Bitcoin’s price rally to new highs in early 2024.

XRP eyes $3.7 as momentum indicators show fading bearish signs

Key takeaways

  • XRP has reclaimed the $3 mark after adding nearly 3% to its value on Tuesday.
  • The momentum indicators are showing fading bearish signs, with a bullish run expected to follow.

XRP tops $3 as broader market shows early signs of recovery

The cryptocurrency market had a poor start to the week but is now showing early signs of recovery. Bitcoin is trading above $111k after adding 1% to its value, while Ether has topped $4,600 as it is up 4%.

XRP, Ripple’s native coin, is not left behind as it has recaptured the $3 psychological level after rallying by more than 3%. The coin could rally higher in the coming hours and days as the bullish momentum continues.

This latest performance comes as CME Group revealed that its crypto futures suite has surpassed $30 billion in notional open interest for the first time. According to CME Group, the SOL and XRP futures each crossed $1 billion. XRP became the fastest contract to hit the milestone, doing so in just over three months.

Institutional adoption continues to support XRP’s price, and this could push it higher over the coming days and weeks. 

XRP targets $3.7 as bullish momentum surfaces

The XRP/USD 4-hour chart remains bullish as XRP rallied by nearly 3.5% in the last 24 hours. The Ripple native coin dipped by over 5% on Monday and closed below its 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $2.99.

It has now recovered and is trading above the $2.99 support level. The RSI of 54 shows that the bullish momentum is growing, while the MACD lines have also crossed into the positive territory. 

XRP/USD 4H Chart

If XRP continues its recovery, it could push higher and target its next daily resistance at $3.40. An extended bullish run would allow XRP to surpass its yearly high of $3.66, with the all-time high price of $3.8 its next target. 

However, if XRP faces a correction, it could dip below $2.99 and target the next key daily support at $2.72.

ETH outperforms BTC by 26% as a structural shift grips the crypto market

  • Traders now see a 26% chance of ETH hitting 5,000 dollars this month.
  • A “major liquidity floor” for ETH is being built by institutions.
  • ETH has gained 20% in 30 days, while Bitcoin has fallen 6%.

A tectonic shift is reshaping the cryptocurrency landscape. While Bitcoin, the long-reigning king, stumbles under the weight of fading momentum and massive liquidations, a powerful rebellion is brewing.

Ethereum is leading the charge, its price buoyed by a torrent of institutional capital and a fundamental re-allocation of liquidity that has traders now seriously betting on it conquering the coveted 5,000 dollar milestone this month.

The growing conviction is quantifiable. On the prediction market Polymarket, the odds of ETH hitting 5,000 dollars have surged to 26%, a dramatic climb from just 16% a few days ago.

This is not a rally built on fleeting hype, but on a deep and structural change in how capital is flowing through the digital asset ecosystem.

The institutional bedrock

At the heart of Ethereum’s ascent is a powerful vote of confidence from the market’s giants. 

“Ethereum’s recent strength is mainly showcased by the level of flows into it, where a major liquidity floor has been built by institutions,” said March Zheng, General Partner at Bizantine Capital, in a note to CoinDesk.

He added that the ETH/BTC price ratio was at a localized low, making a rebound overdue, and that this cycle is supported by stronger fundamentals like global stablecoin adoption and clearer regulation.

This sentiment is echoed by industry leaders who see a market increasingly focused on real-world value. 

“Markets react to headlines, but longer-term value is driven by fundamentals,” Gracie Lin, CEO of OKX Singapore, told CoinDesk. 

“This is why Ethereum continues to show strength through real utility — even as prices pull back, big institutional moves like BitMine’s ETH accumulation prove there’s deep conviction in its role at the core of crypto.”

A market in motion: the re-allocation of liquidity

This isn’t just an Ethereum story; it’s a story about a market in motion. The market maker Enflux, in a note to CoinDesk, described a broad “structural reallocation of liquidity across the crypto landscape.” 

Capital is actively rotating away from a stagnant Bitcoin and chasing new, emerging narratives. XRP has joined ETH in leading the majors, while assets like CRO are gaining traction following initiatives like Trump Media’s “Cronos Treasury.”

Furthermore, the surge in trading volume on decentralized platforms like Hyperliquid, which surpassed Robinhood in July, highlights how speculative energy is now tilting toward crypto-native infrastructure.

These are not just isolated trends; they are undercurrents of a fundamental shift in where the market sees future growth.

The unsettled throne

This altcoin uprising stands in stark contrast to the grim picture in the Bitcoin market.

While trading at 111,733.63 dollars, its on-chain activity remains weak, and a staggering 940 million dollars in recent liquidations signal a dangerous fade in momentum.

Over the past 30 days, while ETH has soared 20%, Bitcoin has fallen 6%.

The divergence is clear, but the conviction is about to face a critical test. As Gracie Lin of OKX noted, “With new macro data like the US PCE coming in later this week, we’re about to see how that conviction holds up amidst volatility.” 

The rebellion is underway, but the final battle for market dominance is yet to be fought.
