This indicates that Litecoin has mirrored 88% of Bitcoin’s price movements over the last month. If BTC price extends its rally toward $120,000, this would theoretically place LTC price around $100, provided the correlation ratio and sentiment remains intact.
LTC Eyes $100 Target as Price Tests Key $93.50 Resistance
From a technical perspective, Litecoin price is nearing a key resistance cluster around $93.50, where the 150-day simple moving average (SMA) sits. A successful breakout above this level could open the door toward the psychological $100 barrier.
As seen below, LTC price closed three consecutive green candles, posting a 9.36% gain over the last 72 hours. The MACD indicator flipped bullish with the MACD line crossing above both the signal and baseline.

More so, daily volume reached 1.38 million LTC, confirming strong momentum behind the breakout. However, failure to break the 150-SMA could lead to a brief pullback.
The 50-SMA at $88.15 and 100-SMA at $87.14 offer layered support for short-term buyers. If Bitcoin consolidates below $113,000, Litecoin could attract buyers, potentially driving prices towards the $100 psychological target, aligning with LTC’s highs from April 2025.
