Highlights

Litecoin led all proof-of-work cryptocurrencies by active addresses for the second consecutive day in February, with on-chain network activity share rising to 56%.
Persistent user engagement and stable active address counts underline strong participation in Litecoin's network despite broader market volatility.
Technically, Litecoin is trading at $54.14, with immediate resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $55.77 and a week-ahead range of $49.00–$56.00 amid prevailing bearish momentum.

On-chain engagement rises as Litecoin leads proof-of-work activity

Litecoin is seeing increased network activity, with Santiment reporting that its number of active addresses remained stable in February, and the asset led all proof-of-work cryptocurrencies by active addresses for the second day running. Litecoin's share of PoW network activity rose to 56%, reflecting ongoing user engagement on-chain. This persistent blockchain usage highlights strong participation amid broader market volatility.

Sustained downside pressure amid resistance and oversold momentum

Technically, LTC is stabilizing short-term just above the MA-20, but retains substantial downside pressure given its distance from the MA-50 and MA-200. The Kijun line from the Ichimoku indicator marks immediate resistance at $55.77. Momentum indicators on the daily chart, including MACD and ADX, remain negative; the RSI and CCI are in oversold territory, and Stochastic RSI is neutral. Bull/Bear Power remains in oversold territory, indicating continued seller dominance, even as short-term oscillators suggest overbought conditions intraday.

Sideways outlook as negative signals cap recovery prospects

For the coming week, price action is expected within the $49.00 – $56.00 volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of a sustained price recovery is below 20%, given persistent negative weekly momentum and trend indicators. The base case calls for sideways movement within this corridor. A break above $55.77 could see price extend toward $56.00 or slightly higher, while a break below $49.00 would increase the risk of further downside toward multi-month lows.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees resilient on-chain activity as a constructive backdrop for Litecoin, despite weak technical momentum. He believes persistent user engagement reinforces network fundamentals even as price struggles under key moving averages. Macro sentiment and fundamentals keep the long-term case solid, but near-term price direction likely hinges on reclaiming resistance above $55.77. "With strong blockchain participation and resilient fundamentals, I see cautious optimism for Litecoin’s stability within the current price band."

Previously it was reported that Litecoin is trading below all major weekly moving averages, with technical indicators including the MACD, ADX, and Bull/Bear Power pointing to persistent bearish momentum and resistance aligning near $57.78. Despite mild oversold signals on RSI and CCI, the asset remains range-bound with immediate support near recent lows and limited breakout potential in the near term.
