Should LTC surge to $100? There is no definitive timeline for this question, but what is clear is that four factors are at play: market cycles, technological breakthroughs, macro liquidity, and halving expectations. The most optimistic window is from Q4 2026 to the first half of 2027, with a relatively higher probability.

As of January 21, LTC is hovering around $68.8, with support below in the $72-$75 range. To reach $100, it must first break through the resistance at $84.77, which is a psychological barrier.

From the technical charts, the 50-day moving average is at $92.94, and the 200-day moving average is firmly at $99.51—these two lines form the main resistance. The RSI indicator shows that bearish momentum is waning; the weekly RSI is approaching 30, indicating that the downward force is slowing. However, to truly break upward, volume must increase, especially after surpassing $85, to have the capacity to push toward $100.

For LTC to truly stabilize at $100, several hard conditions must be met. First, it needs to follow Bitcoin’s strong performance; only then can altcoins recover. Historically, LTC often moves in tandem with Bitcoin, and the probability of reverting to the $80-$100 range remains significant. Second, the technical aspect must be solid—closing prices on the daily chart must stay firmly above $100, and the weekly closes should be above this level for two consecutive weeks, with volume increasing by more than 30% over recent averages—only then is it considered a genuine breakout. Third, macro factors and liquidity must cooperate—expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts and a rebound in market risk appetite can give additional support.

In simple terms, don’t expect LTC to suddenly jump to $100. It needs time, volume, and support from the broader environment. Over the next three to four quarters, if these conditions align, we may see new highs.
