Litecoin wallet addresses increase in profitability closer to LTC halving

Based on data from crypto intelligence tracker IntoTheBlock, there is a spike in the percentage of Litecoin wallet addresses profitable at $80.87. Nearly 50% of wallet addresses holding LTC are sitting on unrealized profits, and the next cluster of resistance is the $81.27 to $83.57 level, followed by $83.51 to $85.75. Once Litecoin price crosses these resistance zones, there will be a spike in the percentage of profitable wallet addresses.

1.17 million addresses holding LTC tokens are currently sitting on unrealized losses. Litecoin faces resistance at the $81.27 level, where 51,000 addresses scooped up nearly 1 million LTC tokens. 

The volume of new wallet addresses in Litecoin has climbed as the altcoin approaches its halving event in August. Data from Santiment reveals a spike in address activity on the LTC network.

Experts at Santiment consider the launch of LTC20 as the catalyst for a massive spike in Litecoin address activity seen in the chart above. LTC20 is a standard similar to Bitcoin Ordinals’ BRC20 on the blockchain. 

The on-chain metrics fuel a bullish thesis for Litecoin price, which is closer to the halving.
