Santiment data indicate that the Litecoin ecosystem’s trading volume (the aggregate trading volume generated by all exchange applications on the chain) reached $2.03 billion on Sunday, the highest level since mid-October and stands at around $1.46 on Tuesday.

Litecoin Price Forecast: LTC momentum indicators gaining traction

Litecoin price surged more than 10% last week, closing above key resistance levels at $96.30 and 50-day EMA at $101.45. At the time of writing on Tuesday, LTC hovers around $105.90, finding support around its 50-day EMA.

If the 50-day EMA at $101.45 continues to hold as support, it could extend the rally toward the October 6 high at $135.99.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 56, above the neutral level of 50, indicating bullish momentum gaining traction. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bullish crossover last week, which remains intact, suggesting the continuation of an upward trend.
