ETF inclusion and net flows support sentiment amid stagnant inbound investment
Litecoin received a boost in market visibility following Vanguard’s expansion of access to third-party crypto ETFs, notably including the Canary Litecoin ETF (LTCC). ETF flow data shows the LTCC recorded net-zero inflows during December 1–2, with total cumulative inflows around $7.67 million, indicating stable but limited new investment into Litecoin-related financial products. The news of ETF access and investment flows has supported sentiment surrounding the asset.
Weak momentum dominates as technical signals flag persistent selling
Momentum signals remain weak, with the daily MACD in strong sell territory and ADX readings indicating a neutral but directionless trend. RSI and CCI both point toward bearish momentum, registering well below 50, but the Stoch RSI stands in buy territory and BBP shows "oversold" conditions, indicating sellers continue to dominate despite some oscillators signaling a potential short-term rebound.
Sideways movement expected as low upside odds favor further decline
For the next five trading days, the expected range is $77.00 to $88.00, adjusted for typical volatility relative to current levels and keeping the current price mid-range. The probability of a price increase is very low (less than 20%), making further declines more likely. The baseline scenario sees Litecoin moving sideways within the corridor as sellers and buyers remain roughly balanced. A bullish scenario unfolds if the price breaks decisively above $92.13, with scope to retest the $91.95 – $100.00 levels, while a bearish scenario is triggered by a drop below $81.00, opening room for a slide toward the $77.00 area.
Previously it was reported that Litecoin continued to trade below all major moving averages while seller dominance was confirmed as momentum indicators such as MACD and RSI indicated persistent bearish pressure. Strong resistance levels and weak upward momentum suggest consolidation is likely, with limited probability of a sustained recovery in the near term, as seller dominance was confirmed as momentum indicators pointed to further downside risk.
