LTC:

Litecoin is one of the coins that's rumoured to likely get ETF approval in the coming months or quarters, hence it's been bid up.

Cryptonary's take

If the price were to break out and head towards the $150 to $160 area, this may set up an opportunity for Short Litecoin. This would likely see Litecoin be overbought and fundamentally Litecoin isn't a great play. The only thing it's really got going for it is the ETF narrative.

For now, we'll wait and see if the price can break out to the upside and give us the opportunity.
