🚀 Litecoin & Stellar Price Forecasts: The Crypto Bulls Charge Into July 18 Trading
Crypto markets flex volatility muscles as Litecoin and Stellar face make-or-break technical levels.
### The Litecoin Liftoff Test
LTC's chart patterns suggest either a breakout toward yearly highs or a brutal rejection—no middle ground for this silver-to-Bitcoin's-gold narrative.
### Stellar's Crossroads Moment
XLM's price coils like a spring, with institutional adoption rumors battling SEC fatigue. One strong volume spike could trigger 20%+ moves either way.
### The European Angle
While traditional finance debates rate cuts, crypto traders eye asymmetric opportunities—because nothing says 'hedge against inflation' like volatile digital assets (except maybe gold, but who wants that boomer relic?).
This isn't investment advice—just the cold, hard chart truths before the next market open.
Litecoin continues its bullish cycle as expected
We talked about Litecoin back on May 30, when we spotted a bullish setup formation with waves (1) and (2) that can extend the rally within wave (3) of a five-wave bullish impulse.
As you can see today on July 18, Litecoin with ticker LTCUSD is now breaking strongly back above May highs after we noticed a complex W-X-Y correction in wave (2). Now that ALTcoin dominance is stepping strongly in, we may easily see more gains within a projected five-wave bullish cycle during the ALTseason, just be aware of short-term pullbacks.
Stellar Price Forecast: XLM Open Interest hits record high, bulls target key psychological level
Stellar (XLM) edges marginally higher by less than 0.50% at press time on Friday, holding the 9.71% gains from the previous day. Peter Brandt, a veteran analyst, finds the recovery run in XLM potentially making one of the most bullish charts as bulls prepare to surpass the $0.50 psychological level and Open Interest rockets to an all-time high.
Regulatory tailwinds push Bitcoin to new highs, boosting crypto market momentum
The cryptocurrency market kicked off Friday’s session on a strong note, buoyed by pivotal legislative developments out of Washington that propelled Bitcoin back above the $120,000 mark and fueled a broad-based rally in altcoins. This momentum comes amid growing efforts by U.S. lawmakers to reshape the regulatory framework for digital assets following a decisive vote in the House of Representatives.
