ETF inflow limitations cap rebound as privacy upgrades draw focus

Institutional and retail flows around spot Litecoin ETFs drew attention this week, while outflows from U.S.-listed funds coincided with broader crypto declines, according to Pluang. The first U.S. spot Litecoin ETF saw cumulative inflows of just $16 million, limiting its ability to drive a sustained rally, as reported by 24/7 Wall St. openPR.com noted recent privacy enhancements for LTC through MimbleWimble Extension Blocks and ongoing Layer 2 smart contract development via the LitVM testnet.

Firm bearish momentum builds as MACD and ADX trigger sell signals

The daily chart shows a sustained move lower with a firm trend, as volatility over the past week stood at 11.69%. MACD and ADX both indicate a sell signal, while CCI and Stochastic RSI are each oversold, suggesting possible selling exhaustion and a chance for near-term rebound. Nearest support is anchored at $52.17, with resistance at $57.04 and the Ichimoku Kijun at $58.61 presenting overhead barriers.

Breakout risk looms as tight range persists in coming week

In the week ahead, the expected range is $45.39 to $56.18. There is a very high probability (more than 80%) of a further drop and a very low probability (less than 20%) of an increase. The base case is for price action to remain contained between support at $52.17 and resistance at $57.04. A clear push above $57.04 would suggest upside potential toward $58.61, while a close below $52.17 would open a deeper move down toward $45.39.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that Litecoin (LTC) continues to face heavy selling pressure, with price dipping nearly 4% over the past week to trade near $53. Technically, the daily chart stays firmly bearish, as both MACD and ADX flash sell signals, while oversold CCI and Stochastic RSI hint at possible selling exhaustion. Institutional and retail interest in spot Litecoin ETFs made headlines this week, but with cumulative inflows only at $16 million, he sees little fundamental support for a sustained turnaround. Kharitonov highlights that downside risks remain high—volatility stands at 11.69%, with base case for price action stuck between $52.17 support and $57.04 resistance. A failure to hold $52.17 could trigger a deeper slide towards $45.39, while any rebound attempt faces a wall at $58.61. "As long as Litecoin remains under $57.04, I stay cautious—oversold readings argue for a pause, but there’s no bullish trigger in sight yet."

Previously it was reported that Litecoin continued to face broad-based selling pressure with no asset-specific catalysts prompting a strong directional shift. The current analysis reinforces this outlook with fresh confirmation of sustained downside momentum, with traders advised to monitor the $52.17 support level as a breach could signal increased risk of further declines toward $45.39.
