ETF withdrawal curbs institutional flows as network upgrades proceed

CoinShares has withdrawn its U.S. filing for a Litecoin ETF, signaling a strategic pivot toward multi-asset strategies that impacts institutional interest in the asset. Developments on the network side include ongoing adoption of Mimblewimble Extension Blocks to strengthen privacy features. Continued technical upgrades and modest institutional diversification into LTC also contribute to market sentiment.

Downside momentum persists as resistance holds and signals remain weak

The Kijun level from the Ichimoku indicator at $94.27 acts as the nearest dynamic resistance, while previous local lows serve as the main support area. Momentum signals remain weak: both MACD (D1 and W1) show sell signals, and the ADX under 20 reflects a lack of clear trend strength. Multiple oscillators indicate oversold conditions — RSI (34.13), Stoch RSI (oversold) and CCI (–120.59) — signaling that price is stretched to the downside, while BBP (–2.90) highlights continued seller dominance for now. Awesome Oscillator is neutral, offering no directional confirmation. Volatility has been moderate, with intraday tone reflecting some strength off the lows but lacking sustained upward momentum given ongoing bearish pressure.

Sideways action likely as weak momentum limits upside risk

For the next five trading days, the anticipated price range is $72.00 to $82.00, reflecting a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of meaningful upside movement is very low (less than 20%), making further declines more likely. The base case sees price consolidating sideways between $74 and $80 as sellers and bargain hunters balance out. A bullish scenario would require a clear break above $82, potentially targeting the $84–$88 resistance region, but weak momentum makes this less likely; in a bearish scenario, a move below $74 could expose $72 as the next support.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent bearish pressure on Litecoin as technical indicators, price action, and institutional sentiment all suggest further weakness. He notes the ETF withdrawal and weak momentum as key risks, despite some ongoing network improvements. The base scenario is sideways or lower as sellers remain dominant. "Until resistance at $82 is broken with convincing momentum, I would stay defensive and avoid chasing any short-term bounce."

Last time, analysts noted that Litecoin was trading firmly below its key moving averages with little dynamic support, while momentum indicators such as MACD, ADX, and daily RSI continued to reflect persistent bearish pressure. Oversold signals appeared across Stoch RSI, CCI, and BBP, with the Ichimoku Kijun resistance at $96.86 remaining intact and price action clustered near session lows, as sustained weakness dominated across all timeframes.
