Litecoin price sustains above $90 closer to LTC halving

According to the Litecoin halving countdown tracker on Nicehash.com, LTC is 11 days away from its halving. The halving event marks a key milestone for Litecoin holders for two reasons. First it reduces the circulating supply of the asset, as block reward for mining LTC is slashed in half, therefore decreasing the selling pressure on the asset.

The second reason is that LTC halving events catalyze a rally in the altcoin’s price. Traders are enthusiastic that the scarcity will be enough to sustain the altcoin’s price above $90. 

In the months leading up to the altcoin, 1,185 wallet addresses have joined the Litecoin network, holding upwards of 100 LTC each. These entities are bullish on LTC price rally with the upcoming halving event. 

Based on data from Santiment, less than 12 days away from the halving, 36,800 wallets have at least 100 LTC each in their wallets. The rise in wallets holding large volume of LTC token is a sign of accumulation, typical of a bullish thesis for the altcoin.
