[2] 🔔 LTC’s breakthrough ahead?

Litecoin seems to be following a pattern from its earlier days, suggesting a big surge ahead. Looking at the charts, it could hit $10,000, which sounds crazy, but that’s what the data indicates, according to Bitgolder’s analysis. 

On March 29, it hit $106. On April 1, the market looks set to soar, with Litecoin possibly following a similar pattern seen in Bitcoin to Turkish Lyra exchange. Corrections and patterns repeat across all timeframes and assets. On April 2, Litecoin dipped to $98 before rebounding, signaling a shift from Bitcoin to altcoins. Dogecoin holders might flock to Litecoin soon.

Litecoin appears promising, possibly forming a bullish pattern. If it follows through, it could reach $145. Expect some choppiness, but overall bullishness heading into April.

*Any technical analysis, in the long run, cannot accurately predict the movement because now is a very tough market and the news can swing currencies in all directions.
