Litecoin Smashes Through $90 – But Why Can’t It Crack $110?

Litecoin bulls are back in the saddle as LTC reclaims the $90 support level—a critical psychological threshold. Yet the digital silver’s rally seems stuck in second gear, leaving traders wondering: what’s holding it back from the $110 surge?

Market whispers point to profit-taking and stubborn resistance levels, but let’s be real—since when did crypto ever move logically? Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s shadow looms large, as always, sucking oxygen out of the room for altcoins. Classic.

If Litecoin wants to play with the big boys, it’ll need more than just technical rebounds—it needs a narrative. Until then, enjoy the sideways grind and pray the whales don’t get bored.

LTC rising Open Interest underpins the price rally

At the same time, LTC Open Interest (OI) in Futures also spiked by 13%, rising from $604 million to $685 million.

Historically, Open Interest indicates the total value of outstanding Futures contracts and reflects increased trader activity.

This rise in both price and Open Interest signalled fresh capital entering the market, rather than mere short covering. That strengthens the case for a sustained uptrend, backed by bullish on-chain activity.

All eyes on $110 key price level

With the positive momentum established, LTC is at the doorstep of $110, a psychological level of prices that also corresponds with historical price action.

A break above this significant level may trigger additional gains in the NEAR term for the altcoin.

However, traders and investors alike must monitor volume and bearish divergences on momentum indicators. If purchasing pressure starts to run out, LTC may face resistance and get stuck at $110.

Still, the combination of a confluence-driven rebound and climbing Open Interest paints a constructive outlook. If momentum persists, Litecoin may soon challenge—and possibly surpass—$110.
