Litecoin is currently trading at $83.71 inside an ascending triangle pattern on the 4-hour chart. Several on-chain metrics show that large LTC investors are selling, which adds selling pressure to the market and shifts the odds in favor of the bears.
Litecoin faces strong selling pressure and a potential dive towards $60
It seems that Litecoin whales have been selling a lot of coins in the past week as the number of holders with 100,000 - 1,000,000 coins has dropped from 121 on November 18 to 114 currently. Furthermore, there are two fewer whales holding between 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 ($83,000,000 and $830,000,000), which is significant.
