Litecoin (LTC) Surges 10%—Halving Hype or Just Another Crypto Sugar Rush?
Litecoin bulls are charging today as LTC spikes double-digits—because nothing says ’sound money’ like a 10% pump on zero news. Traders cite ’halving anticipation’ as the catalyst, because apparently, crypto markets still run on hopium and recycled narratives.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists scoff while secretly checking their altcoin bags. The real question: Will Litecoin hold these gains, or is this just another liquidity trap for retail? Place your bets—the casino never closes.
Bonus jab: Wall Street still can’t decide whether to ban crypto or charge 2% management fees for exposure.

Although following a partial pullback from the highs of $92.56 earlier today, LTC comes to retest the $90 support levels. If the altcoin manages to hold these support levels, it could witness fresh entry from traders.
LTC buyers have demonstrated strong momentum, breaking through key resistance levels. Some market analysts believe that if the Litecoin price sustains above $90, a potential rally towards the $140 zone could be on the horizon.
However, for this to happen, Litecoin must first break past the resistance of $100 on a near-term basis, where it’s been facing major resistance. However, the CoinGlass data shows that the bullish momentum is likely to continue, as LTC open interest jumps 14% to $651 million.
LTC Faces Volatility Amid Delays in ETF Approval
Earlier this week, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) decided to delay the decision on the Canary Funds Litecoin ETF approval, and has sought public comments by May-end.
However, the bullish price action continues as LTC continues to break past technical barriers. market analysts are predicting a strong upside with 90% probability for approval by the year-end.
According to the filing, public comments are open until May 26, 2025, with rebuttals due by June 9, 2025. This delay highlights the agency’s cautious stance on cryptocurrency-linked financial products and its focus on safeguarding investor interests.
Over the past month, Litecoin has been showing strong momentum with 33% gains. If the FOMC provides enough catalyst, a breakout above $100 could happen soon.
