Litecoin Maintains Support at $113, Anticipates Significant Increases in Value as ETF and Treasury Decisions Approach
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to make a decision on a proposed Litecoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) by early October, according to reports. The SEC faces a deadline to either approve or deny Canary Funds' Litecoin ETF prospectus, which could potentially open the door for broader institutional adoption and add significant legitimacy to the Litecoin market.
The price of Litecoin could rally ahead of ETF approval and then correct afterward, as seen with Bitcoin ETF launches. Litecoin has held firmly above the $113-$114 support zone and is currently trading near $114 at press time, up 86% year-to-date. Analysts believe the $113-$114 support zone could serve as a launchpad toward the next resistance at $137.50.
Litecoin is flashing strong bullish signals, including a multi-month Relative Strength Index (RSI) breakout, increased momentum, support from the 21 Simple Moving Average (SMA), and a bullish Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) crossover. The cryptocurrency recently formed a golden cross pattern, another bullish technical signal. Litecoin remains above the Ichimoku cloud, suggesting that momentum remains in favor of buyers.
The odds of approval for the Litecoin ETF are favorable, based on the SEC's previous green lights for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. The SEC may face fewer hurdles in approving the Litecoin ETF due to Litecoin's liquidity and its long track record as one of the oldest cryptocurrencies.
Long-term Litecoin predictions are still tied to macroeconomic fundamentals, higher crypto usage, and the influence of the subsequent Litecoin halving, which historically has been a price-driving factor. The market's focus remains on whether Litecoin can hold its support at $113, as this would maintain the path to further gains.
If approved, the Litecoin ETF could potentially attract more institutional investors to the Litecoin market, further driving its price and adoption. Litecoin has outperformed several altcoins and regained a key position on traders' watchlists. The US SEC has not yet announced a specific decision date for the approval of a Litecoin ETF, but decisions on various crypto ETFs, including those related to Litecoin, are anticipated soon amid a broader wave of pending approvals by the SEC for multiple cryptocurrency ETFs in 2025. However, the SEC's recent announced decision date for a related crypto ETF, the 21Shares Core XRP Trust, is October 19, 2025, which may indicate a timeframe within which other altcoin-related ETFs like Litecoin could also be considered.
In conclusion, the Litecoin market is showing strong bullish signs, and the potential approval of a Litecoin ETF could further drive its price and adoption. Traders and investors are closely watching the $113 support zone and the upcoming SEC decision.
