Litecoin Price Analysis Fundamentals From inception, Litecoin founders were very specific. With all the pomp of a censorship resistance and global money that will eventually be a medium of exchange as well as a store of value, Litecoin wanted to be silver to this digital Gold. To some extent, they have been successful. Thanks to their low fees\u2014expected to decrease to a tenth of current transaction rates and fast block generation, merchants are slowly gravitating and trusting this new form of digital money. If anything, they are actively contributing to the burgeoning blockchain ecosystem where everyone has control of their assets. With low-fee architecture, we also expect more to use Litecoin, and if we add to Mimble Wimble and the possibility of private transactions, it\u2019s an all go for Litecoin. They may also capitalize and even convince Kroger, which recently banned Visa cards citing high fees, in their Smith\u2019s Food &amp; Drug Stores. If they do, LTC prices will undoubtedly surge from spot rates. Candlestick Arrangements At spot rates, Litecoin (LTC) is up 4.6 percent in the last week but down 4.4 percent in the previous 24 hours. It is understandable because this draw-down has been across the board. Even so, it is clear that the trajectory, the path of least resistance is upwards as our trend line shows. Since bulls are in control trading within a breakout pattern with supports at $35 and $40, every low should technically be a buying opportunity. That applies for risk-off, aggressive traders. Like in all previous LTC\/USD trade plan, bulls have a chance from an effort versus result point of view. Once prices close above $50, odds are Litecoin will finally rally to $70, $90 and even $110 by mid-Q2 precisely what the market expects as prices bottom out from $20. Technical Indicators Volumes are stable, and our reference bar is Feb 8, high volume bull bar\u2014832k versus 202k. As volumes stabilize around 220k, we need to see an upsurge above $50 complete with high volume mirroring those of Feb 18\u2014552k. Ideally, volumes should also exceed those of Feb 24\u2014577k.

His specialization in NFTs, blockchain, DeFi, and blockchain news for NewsBTC, combined with a background in mechanical engineering and over a decade of experience in journalism, has allowed him to craft over 10,000 news and feature articles over the past eight years. His diverse range of topics, including technology, Forex, and finance, reflects his comprehensive understanding of the crypto landscape. His technical expertise and analytical skills have been recognized and featured by leading news outlets such as Investing.com, CoinTelegraph, Entrepreneur, Forbes, and other authority sites. Notably, he broke key news, including the Ripple and MoneyGram partnership, cementing his position as a thought leader in crypto. The news exploded. Over 100,000 people devoured this meticulously crafted report, from seasoned investors to curious newcomers. His analysis wasn't just dry facts and figures; it crackled with insight, dissecting the implications of the partnership and its potential impact on the future of finance. His deep understanding of the financial markets, technological advancements, and blockchain developments has made him a respected voice in the industry. Dalmas is also the founder of BTC-Pulse, a crypto news site, further demonstrating his commitment to the field. He firmly believes that DeFi and NFTs are here to stay and will continue to drive financial inclusion. Coming from Nairobi, Kenya, it is easy to see the source of his inspiration: Across Africa, millions lack access to traditional banks. Remote villages, limited documentation, and high minimum balances create insurmountable barriers. DeFi, not just Maker or Aave, for example, but think of Bitcoin and USDT, cuts out the middleman. Forget banks with their limitations. Even so, DeFi isn't a magic solution. The continent still struggles with reliable internet access, and educational campaigns highlighting the benefits of this wonderful solution are insufficient. Moreover, even for those interested, understanding DeFi can look like learning a new language. Dalmas is here to help make the tech easy to understand and digestible, even for beginners. The story of DeFi in Africa is still being written. Challenges abound, but the promise of a more inclusive financial future is a powerful motivator. With innovation and collaboration, Dalmas firmly believes that DeFi could become the key to unlocking Africa's full economic potential. This possibility and its immense value motivate Dalmas to continue breaking key DeFi innovations and more across the globe. His engineering background further enhances his ability to deliver well-thought-out pieces that blend technical insight with clear, impactful reporting. Beyond his professional achievements, Dalmas is deeply passionate about technology and politics. Policies drive adoption, and being at the forefront and keeping up with how they evolve is crucial for the sphere to mature. When Dalmas is not closely monitoring the latest crypto events, he can be found in nature, exploring the picturesque countryside, and traveling with his family and friends. His love for adventure and discovery perfectly complements his investigative and reporting skills.

Dalmas is also the founder of BTC-Pulse, a crypto news site, further demonstrating his commitment to the field. He firmly believes that DeFi and NFTs are here to stay and will continue to drive financial inclusion. Coming from Nairobi, Kenya, it is easy to see the source of his inspiration: Across Africa, millions lack access to traditional banks. Remote villages, limited documentation, and high minimum balances create insurmountable barriers. DeFi, not just Maker or Aave, for example, but think of Bitcoin and USDT, cuts out the middleman. Forget banks with their limitations. Even so, DeFi isn't a magic solution. The continent still struggles with reliable internet access, and educational campaigns highlighting the benefits of this wonderful solution are insufficient. Moreover, even for those interested, understanding DeFi can look like learning a new language. Dalmas is here to help make the tech easy to understand and digestible, even for beginners. The story of DeFi in Africa is still being written. Challenges abound, but the promise of a more inclusive financial future is a powerful motivator. With innovation and collaboration, Dalmas firmly believes that DeFi could become the key to unlocking Africa's full economic potential. This possibility and its immense value motivate Dalmas to continue breaking key DeFi innovations and more across the globe. His engineering background further enhances his ability to deliver well-thought-out pieces that blend technical insight with clear, impactful reporting. Beyond his professional achievements, Dalmas is deeply passionate about technology and politics. Policies drive adoption, and being at the forefront and keeping up with how they evolve is crucial for the sphere to mature. When Dalmas is not closely monitoring the latest crypto events, he can be found in nature, exploring the picturesque countryside, and traveling with his family and friends. His love for adventure and discovery perfectly complements his investigative and reporting skills.
