On Friday, March 5th, Litecoin is correcting not far from $172.51.

As we can see in the daily chart, LTC/USD is still correcting within the ascending tendency. the current situation is as follows: after completing the correction, the asset may trade near 38,2% fibo. In the nearest future, the price may break the support level and test 50.0% fibo. The MACD histogram is below 0, thus implying that the correction continues, while its signal lines have formed a “Black cross”, which is another signal in favor of a further pullback. All these factors taken together imply that the asset may continue the correction towards 50.0% fibo, rebound from it, and then resume growing to reach $240.00.

In the H4 chart, Litecoin is also trading close to the support level. At the moment, we can expect a rebound from 50.0% fibo. Stochastic has formed the “Golden cross” and is currently moving towards the “overbought area”, which is another signal in favor of a further uptrend. The upside target here is $240.00.

Grayscale Investment has acquired 178,600 LTC over the 30 days. The sum invested in this number of crypto-coins may be about $28.9 million. The fund increased its long positions in LTC simultaneously with purchasing BTC and ETH. At the moment, the fund has a trust in LTC approximately worth $255.6 million.

At the same time, the total sum of all cryptocurrencies controlled by Grayscale is estimated at $36.9 billion. Grayscale acquires Litecoin for its clients and for the funds that are in stable demand.

It’s interesting that it was Grayscale that acquired 80% of all LTC mined in January 2021. It’s a pretty big volume, which may influence the market behavior.
