Litecoin price Resistance formed multiple times around $137–$140, aligning with previous rejection points.

The lower trendline showed support near $130, preventing further downside.

A breakout above $140 could drive bullish momentum toward $150 or beyond, but rejection risks reversal to $120.

Volume remained moderate at 2.01M, indicating cautious participation.

The pattern historically leads to breakdowns, yet $LTC’s recent strength suggested potential divergence.

Litecoin Futures Open Interest Soars to a 4-year High

If open interest remains high, $LTC could extend gains past $150. However, excessive leverage might trigger liquidations, forcing a correction toward $130.

Sustained open interest growth indicated confidence in $LTC’s trajectory.

Traders monitored funding rates and liquidation levels to gauge potential breakouts or pullbacks in the coming sessions.

$LTC Cumulative short Over Long Liquidation Leverage
