Litecoin Price Crosses $110 Level After 20% Rally — What’s Next For LTC?

The Litecoin price has been on an impressive run over the last few weeks, mirroring the improving climate of the altcoin market in that period. In the past week, the LTC token put out a strong bullish display, returning above the psychological $100 mark for the first time since mid-May.

The Litecoin price has not stopped at the breach of the $100 level, climbing above the $110 mark on Saturday, July 19, to cap off an exhilarating week. Interestingly, the price of LTC seems to only be at the beginning of an extended rally, as pointed out on X by an expert crypto trader.

Is LTC About To Witness A 900% Surge?

In a recent post on the X platform, Chartered Market Technician (CMT) Tony Severino painted an excitingly bullish picture for the Litecoin price even after its recent market exploits. According to the crypto expert, the price of LTC is on the verge of a bullish breakout that could decide its trajectory over the next few months.

This bullish projection is based on a multi-year contracting (or symmetrical) triangle pattern on the Litecoin 2-week chart. The contracting triangle is a pattern in technical price analysis marked by a falling upper boundary (connecting a series of lower highs) and a rising lower trendline (connecting a series of higher lows).

In a symmetrical triangle pattern, the asset price continuously contracts and moves toward the apex. Eventually, the price will breach the upper trendline for a breakout or breach the lower trendline for a breakdown. This chart formation could be a continuation or reversal pattern depending on the break’s direction (breakout or breakdown) and the initial trend direction.

However, symmetrical triangles are often continuation patterns, meaning the price tends to break in the initial trend direction before it fell into the triangle pattern. So, if history is anything to go by, the Litecoin price is likely to continue its upward trend after it breaks out of the current setup.

As Severino pointed out, the Litecoin price is preparing to break out of this multi-year symmetrical triangle and could be on track to break above its current all-time high of $410. In a contracting triangle formation, the price target is determined by adding the length of the widest point of the triangle (or base) to the breakout point.

Going by this logic, the price of Litecoin could be on the verge of an over 900% surge over the next few months.
