• Litecoin is trading at $111 currently with a slight 0.37% intraday increase, looking to breach over $114.50.
• Key resistance levels stand at $114.50 and $123, with the next target around $140 if the momentum continues.
• LTC derivatives show lower activity, volume drop 46.51%, open interest $909.89 million, weak bullish sentiment 0.0064%.

Litecoin (LTC) is still cautious in movement as the market anticipates a clear direction. LTC is trading near $111 with a slight daily rise, as analysts highlight crucial resistance at $114.50. Market watchers believe a confirmed breakout could drive LTC toward $123.

LTC is currently trading at $110.9, with a daily gain of 0.37%, while the market capitalization is $8.46 billion, reflecting steady investor interest despite a generally slow day in the market.

Key Resistance Target Near $140 Awaits

A cryptocurrency analyst noted on X that Litecoin’s daily candle end with no clear indication, according to the mixed momentum in Bitcoin. Analysts noted that the daily candle for both LTC and LTCBTC failed to provide clarity,  although LTCBTC continues to back up a promising bull flag pattern. A positive confirmation from this pattern has the potential to catalyze a sharp surge in Litecoin’s price.

The current level of resistance is $112,  which needs to be cleared for further upside potential. If Litecoin can push through the intraday level of $114.50 and maintain the momentum, then the path may open towards $123 in the short term. If momentum continues to build, then the next important level to look out for will be around $140, which in turn may trigger more bullish sentiment towards the coin.

Analysts emphasize that penetration above $114.50 will give a clear buying signal, while rejection can put short trades back into focus, with $106.50 identified as the primary support zone.

Litecoin Stability Could Spark Next Trend

The Litecoin derivatives market still shows perceivable lethargy in trade volumes. Open interest (OI) slipped minimally by 1.01% to $909.89 million, while the entire trade volume slipped significantly by 46.51% to $457.57 million. This is reflective of investors getting into a cooling phase in the wake of volatility that was seen in markets in the very near past, suggesting that investors may be waiting for stronger signals before taking fresh positions.

On the other hand, the OI Weighted funding rate is 0.0064% which is indicative of a mildly positive sentiment. Investors remain biased bullish, but the rate is low enough to indicate a balanced market with no obvious leverage pressure. 

If this is sustained, then Litecoin is potentially setting the stage for the next trend without the risk of over-stretched long or short squeezes.
