Litecoin wallet addresses increase in profitability closer to LTC halving
Based on data from crypto intelligence tracker IntoTheBlock, there is a spike in the percentage of Litecoin wallet addresses profitable at $80.87. Nearly 50% of wallet addresses holding LTC are sitting on unrealized profits, and the next cluster of resistance is the $81.27 to $83.57 level, followed by $83.51 to $85.75. Once Litecoin price crosses these resistance zones, there will be a spike in the percentage of profitable wallet addresses.
