  • Litecoin price remains contained inside an ascending parallel channel.
  • LTC whales have purchased a lot of coins in the past three weeks.

If Litecoin can defend the key support level at $170, the odds of a rebound will increase. Additionally, the number of whales holding between 100,000 and 1,000,000 coins has increased by five in the past three weeks which indicates large holders want to accumulate even more LTC.

On the other hand, the bears could still gain strength, especially if they can crack the key support level at $170. A breakdown below this critical point would be notable.
