    • Would LTC Halving Trigger a Bull Run or Bearish Trend?

Litecoin (LTC) excitedly hit the $100 mark on April 18, 2023, only to trace back by over 10% in just a few days. The token clocked a high of $89.03 and a low of $86.99  in the past 24 hours. LTC now sits in the 12th position on CoinMarketCap, dropping a few places off its previous 9th position. At press time, LTC’s 24-hour trading volume is $400,996,198, and its live market cap stands at $6.40B.

Several possible factors may have contributed to this price drop, including a lack of demand, profit-taking by investors, or negative news or events related to LTC. Unlike Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), LTC has fewer devoted proponents, which could make it more susceptible to price fluctuations as investors take profits while they can.

There may be some respite for LTC hodlers, knowing their gem was not the only one to take a knock. Due to low demands, major cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH also experienced slight setbacks. 

BTC hit the $30,000 mark and remained stable between April 14, 2023, and April 17, 2023. It dropped to $29,000 on April 18, 2023, before rising back to $30,000 on April 19, 2023, only to drop again to $28,000 on April 20, 2023. BTC is struggling to return to the $30,000 mark, hovering at $28,188.

Similarly, ETH hit the $2,000 mark on April 14, 2023, and remained stable until April 20, 2023, when it dropped to $1,936. Currently, ETH sits at $1,836.

According to Rashi Maheshwari, an editor at Forbes Advisor, the cryptocurrency market has been characterized by volatility and a downward trend since the dramatic collapse of FTX, one of the biggest international cryptocurrency exchanges. Maheshwari asserts that the FTX meltdown, combined with rising interest rates and concerns about inflation, has contributed significantly to the low prices of cryptocurrencies.

Crypto Community Reacts to LTC’s Sharp Drop

The recent drop in LTC’s value from $100 has generated mixed reactions within the crypto community. While some traders see the dip as an opportunity to buy at a lower price, others express concerns about the market’s overall trajectory.

One Twitter user,  BearPiggy, is taking a bullish stance on the situation, viewing the drop as a potential buying opportunity.

I’m very bullish on LTC’s longish term. I’ve been adding every drop.

Short term we still have some movement down. Once we break the 200-day EMA we will be testing the $73-$78 range. This is the perfect spot to place your longs with a TP of $120 and $154 #LTC #Litecoin #Crypto pic.twitter.com/qRrl9bOG2w

Meanwhile, Crypto Damus noted an ascending triangle pattern with high lows on each pullback on the LTC price chart, which he views as a positive sign.

However, it’s worth noting that there is no clear consensus among experts about the recent LTC price drop. As with any cryptocurrency, the LTC market is highly volatile and can be influenced by factors such as market sentiment, economic conditions, and regulatory changes that can lead to sudden and significant price fluctuations.

Can Litecoin Reach $100 Again, and When?

LTC currently trades at around $87.73, and the subjects of primary speculation among investors would be the token’s chances of hitting $100 and exactly when that would be. The potential for Litecoin to reach $100 again depends on several factors, including investor behaviour, market trends, and the upcoming halving eventThe best we can do in this circumstance is to shed light on the stakes and examine factors that impact LTC’s price and demand.

Potential for Growth: 

LTC has a fixed supply of 84,000,000 coins, with 72,837,539 currently in circulation. As demand increases, the token’s value has the potential to rise, given its limited supply. Also, the affordable mean price of LTC makes it an attractive investment option for those seeking to diversify their portfolios.

Investor behaviour and market trends

Investor sentiment is a significant factor that can impact the price of LTC. As with any investment, the token demand is determined by the buying and selling activity of investors. When more investors are buying, demand increases, driving up its price. Conversely, demand decreases when more investors are selling, causing price declines.

The cryptocurrency market’s volatility means that investor behaviour can change quickly and significantly. Positive news or rumours can spark a surge in demand; conversely, negative news or events can lead to a sell-off.

Investor sentiment can also be influenced by factors such as market trends, global events, and the performance of other cryptocurrencies. For example, if other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin experience a significant price increase, it can lead to increased demand for LTC as investors look to diversify their portfolios.

Upcoming Halving Event

Another factor that could influence LTC’s price is the upcoming halving event scheduled for August 2023. During this event, the mining reward for Litecoin will be reduced by 50%, potentially reducing the supply and driving up demand and price.

Would LTC Halving Trigger a Bull Run or Bearish Trend?

Some analysts and investors predict that the Litecoin Halving event scheduled for August 3-5, 2023, will positively impact the coin’s value. Halving events are designed to control inflation rates and create scarcity in the token supply, ultimately increasing the currency’s value over time. This reduction in supply rate creates a scarcity that increases demand from investors, driving up the asset’s price. After the upcoming halving event, miners will receive only 6.25 LTC instead of the current rate of 12.5 LTC for the same amount of work. 

According to CoinCodex, a popular crypto YouTube channel, during the previous Litecoin Halving on August 5, 2019, the coin’s value increased significantly in the months leading up to it.LTC had hit a low of $22 in December 2018, but as 2019 came around, the token saw an impressive surge that peaked at $145 in June 2019, documenting a 560% increase.

It remains uncertain when LTC will reach $100 again, or if it will ever do so at all. However, investors taking advantage of the current price drop in anticipation of the halving event may increase demand for the token.. Additionally, the upcoming halving event may positively impact Litecoin’s value over time. Nonetheless, as with any investment, individuals must research, seek professional financial advice, and carefully consider their risk tolerance before investing in Litecoin or any other cryptocurrency.
