Litecoin (LTC) price continued to gain bullish momentum for over five days as whale accumulation and other on-chain metrics flashed buy signals. 

Litecoin appreciated by over 12% in the last five days as bulls took control of the price action. The larger crypto market gains further aided LTC’s uptrend as the global crypto market cap finally tested the $1 trillion mark.

For over five months, Litecoin’s price has moved in a range-bound trajectory below the $63 resistance mark. However, LTC price marked stunning gains at press time, presenting 6.54% gains on a daily basis. 

The uptrend followed a price uptick above the 21-day simple moving average alongside daily RSI skyrocketing.  

Litecoin price traded at $56 at the time of writing, charting a monthly price high on a one-day chart.

The bullish momentum was successful in eliminating bears as Coinglass’ Total Liquidations showed nearly $1.4 million shorts liquidated on Oct.25. Another $161,000 worth of shorts were liquidated on Oct. 26 by press time.

Nonetheless, going forward, Litecoin bulls will have to face the $61 resistance. If LTC price fails to establish above $61, a retest of the lower $52 support can be expected.
