Litecoin (LTC) is one of the original proof-of-work coins and was created to be a cheaper or faster option for Bitcoin. LTC has a maximum supply of 84 million coins, with more than 90% of that already mined.
During bullish cycles, LTC is also advertised as a scarce digital asset. At press time, the coin is trading at $54.02 with a decline of 1.34% over the 24 hours.
Chart Signals Early Reversal Attempt
The daily TradingView chart shows the current price to be approximately $53 after a lengthy downtrend starting from the 2025 high. There is strong horizontal resistance at $65, which was the breakout point for LTC.
The RSI is at roughly 34, indicating the potential for an oversold condition, and the MACD has not yet confirmed a bullish reversal, but there are currently green histogram bars developing from the MACD.
If buyers can successfully defend $50 and have sufficient strength to break through $60, it is possible for the momentum to accelerate towards $65–70. If they are unable to maintain support, LTC will likely undergo another retest of the lower demand zone.

84 Million Cap Strengthens Hard Money Thesis
In recent posts on X by Litecoin’s official page, highlighted their 84 million fixed supply and maintained their reputation as “hard money”. Scarcity narratives generally gather more traction when sentiment for crypto is bullish.
Thus, if the markets start to rotate back to larger-cap altcoins, LTC may receive increased interest from investors.
Forecast Aligns With Key Resistance
According to CoinCodex data, forecasts for February are showing a price range of between the mid-$50s and just below $70.
This would fall in line with technical resistance levels for LTC. If there is bullish momentum, then this also shows that there is significant potential upside.
In conclusion, Litecoin has a weakness in technology; however, it is close to moving toward an upside rally of some sort.
A confirmed price break above the key price level of $65 would support a potential rally toward the February high near $70; however, losing $50 would invalidate the bullish scenario.
