Litecoin rising wedge channel keeps an eye on the upper trendline anticipating breakout. Highest LTC social activity share crossing 1.9% as LTC futures open interest soars to a 4-year high with $758 Million. LTC cumulative short liquidation leverage over long liquidation leverage.

Litecoin price Resistance formed multiple times around $137–$140, aligning with previous rejection points.

The lower trendline showed support near $130, preventing further downside.

A breakout above $140 could drive bullish momentum toward $150 or beyond, but rejection risks reversal to $120.

Volume remained moderate at 2.01M, indicating cautious participation.

The pattern historically leads to breakdowns, yet LTC’s recent strength suggested potential divergence.

This surge indicated increased market activity and potential price volatility. LTC price reached $136.17, rising 104.52%, supported by high leverage.

If open interest remains high, LTC could extend gains past $150. However, excessive leverage might trigger liquidations, forcing a correction toward $130.

Sustained open interest growth indicated confidence in LTC’s trajectory.

Traders monitored funding rates and liquidation levels to gauge potential breakouts or pullbacks in the coming sessions.

LTC Cumulative short Over Long Liquidation Leverage

Short positions faced aggressive liquidations near $134.6–$137, forcing traders to buy back, fueling upward momentum.

Long liquidations remained significantly lower, reducing immediate downside pressure. This short squeeze contributed to LTC’s 104.52% rally, lifting the price to $136.17.
