Litecoin price could surge to $1000 this bull cycle
According to crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe, o is Litecoin’s bull cycle could include a major run towards a new all-time high. The analyst points to a potential surge in LTC in a YouTube video that also forecasts a bullish scenario for XRP.
Van de Poppe says he’s “very bullish on those older altcoins,” highlighting their technical picture as a reason to be optimistic of new gains.
Looking specifically at Litecoin’s price action, it mirrors historical moves seen after extended downtrends. In one example, van de Poppe notes that LTC rallied more than 400% after a major sell-off in 2015 and repeated the outlook after subsequent bear markets.
Deceleration has resulted in new highs, even after a major dip since previous highs in 2017. The analyst believes that a retest and continuation from current levels could send bulls higher.
“When we’re getting expansion happening in the next bull cycle of Litecoin, we could be seeing the Fibonacci extension taking place here once again. And then the 1.618 is 600 bucks, and the second one will probably chase toward $1,000.”
Veteran trader Peter Brandt is also predicting an upside move for Litecoin in the short term, giving it an upshot to 2021 highs.
