Litecoin (LTC) <\/a>demonstrated a V-shaped recovery of 20% after dropping to $106 on Feb. 25. After a brief decline below the 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), the altcoin has regained a bullish position and is currently outperforming a majority of assets within the crypto market.<\/p>\n Litecoin 1-hour chart.

Data<\/a> highlights a clear trend where LTC’s open interest has consistently peaked at $140. <\/p>\n Litecoin open interest, funding rate and liquidation chart.

However, a majority of the OI declined within the first three days. It remained flat during LTC’s drawdown in the past two days.<\/p>\n In the past 24 hours, a flash OI spike of 10% was observed alongside a price rise, which might imply fresh long positions from traders. The rise in the funding rate further confirmed that more longs were currently active than shorts. <\/p>\n In light of that, Tyler, an anonymous crypto trader, said<\/a> that the altcoin presented “one of the best charts in crypto.” <\/p>\n The sentiment was followed up by Poseidon, a crypto analyst who predicted<\/a> that Litecoin is targeting a new all-time high at $300. <\/p>\n However, a technical analyst, Mihir, believed the long-term target could be even higher. <\/p>\n The analyst said, <\/p>\n “LTC hit $350 USD during 2017 — a 310x move. It retested the 2017 high during the 2020 bull run but failed to make a new ATH. In the current (2023-2025) bull run, it hasn’t moved much yet, but it is indicating an upside move this year. If it breaks above $250 USD, then $1,000 is feasible.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Litecoin 1-month analysis by Mihir.
