The altcoin's strong performance has also led to a 5.71% and 5.43% increase against Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), respectively.
According to Michaël van de Poppe, a crypto analyst known as @CryptoMichNL on Twitter, LTC's movement has followed the path he previously predicted. However, he noted that he could not enter the market himself. In a tweet from the previous day, Van de Poppe stated that if LTC's price breaks above the $72 resistance level, which it has, there could be a swift continuation to the $80 target within the next 48 hours.
Currently, LTC's price has broken above the 9-day and 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) lines but faced resistance at $78 before dropping back down to its current level. Technical indicators on the daily chart still point to bullish momentum, with the 9-day EMA crossing above the 20-day EMA and supporting the price. Additionally, the daily relative strength index (RSI) is positioned above the daily RSI simple moving average (SMA) and sloping upward towards the overbought territory.
