Litecoin (LTC) price continues to climb, trading above $118 on Thursday, extending gains of over 10% so far this week. The bullish momentum is further supported by rising Open Interest (OI) and trading volume in the LTC token. Meanwhile, technical analysis suggests an upward leg targeting levels above $130.
On-chain data and derivatives show bullish bias for LTC
CoinGlass’s data show that the futures’ OI in Litecoin at exchanges rose from $797 million on Tuesday to $955 million on Thursday, the highest level since September 20. An increasing OI represents new or additional money entering the market and new buying, which could fuel the current Litecoin price rally.

Litecoin Price Forecast: LTC bulls aiming for $130 mark
Litecoin price found support around the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $103.61 on September 25 and rose 12.5% by Wednesday. This level roughly coincides with multiple support levels, such as the volume profile POC (Point of Control) is at $102.62, the price level with the highest traded volume since November 2024, the 50% retracement level is at $98.68, and the ascending trendline (drawn by connecting multiple lows since early April), making this a key support zone. At the time of writing on Thursday, LTC continues to trade higher above $118.
If LTC continues its upward momentum, it could extend the rally toward the next resistance at $130.
The Relative Strength on the daily chart reads 61, above the neutral level of 50, indicating bullish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bullish crossover on Wednesday, signaling a potential buy opportunity and indicating the possible start of an upward trend.
