Litecoin has recently managed to break past the $95 mark as on-chain data shows the whales have become active on the network.<\/p>\n
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment<\/a>, the current whale activity is the highest it has been since January. The relevant indicator here is the “whale transaction count<\/a>,” which measures the total number of transfers taking place on the Litecoin network that involve the movement of coins worth at least $100,000.<\/p>\n Since such transactions are quite large in scale, generally only the whale<\/a> entities are capable of making them. Thus, this indicator can provide us with an idea about the number of transfers that these humongous holders are making on the blockchain.<\/p>\n Due to the sheer number of coins involved in each of these transfers, if a large amount of them take place at once, the market can register noticeable fluctuations. So, whenever the whale transaction count has a high value, the price of LTC becomes more probable to display volatility.<\/p>\n On the other hand, when this metric has low values, the price may stay relatively calm, as it suggests that the whales aren’t making too many moves on the market right now.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Litecoin whale transaction counts over the last six months or so:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As shown in the above graph, the Litecoin whale transaction count has observed a large spike recently. This means that whales have ramped up their transfer activity in the last couple of days.<\/p>\nThe value of the metric seems to have been quite high in recent days | Source: Santiment on Twitter<\/a><\/pre>\n
