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.

Litecoin wallet addresses that are profitable

1.17 million addresses holding LTC tokens are currently sitting on unrealized losses. Litecoin faces resistance at the $81.27 level, where 51,000 addresses scooped up nearly 1 million LTC tokens.

The volume of new wallet addresses in Litecoin has climbed as the altcoin approaches its halving event in August. Data from Santiment reveals a spike in address activity on the LTC network.

The on-chain metrics fuel a bullish thesis for Litecoin price, which is closer to the halving.
