Despite being termed the ‘digital silver’, the Litecoin price has remained muted in the last year. The altcoin’s price saw a run-up back in 2023, leading up to its halving. Since then, it has failed to maintain this upward momentum, falling short of the triple-digit level. From here, though, it seems the tide might finally be changing for the Litecoin price, as a notable prediction from an analyst suggests that a rally could send the price to a new all-time high.
Litecoin Price To Reach $7,000
According to a crypto analyst on the X (Formerly Twitter) platform, the Litecoin price is set to outperform all of the large cap cryptocurrencies in the market. The analysis focused on Litecoin’s long-term growth, which could see it surpass the likes of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The chart shows that the LTC price is still trending below $70, which is an 84% decline from its all-time high price of $412. However, all hope is not lost as the crypto analyst believes that there is still more to come for the altcoin. Not only does the analyst believe that the Litecoin price will eventually cross the triple-digit level once again, they also believe that four-digit is in the cards for the altcoin.
Targets for the Litecoin price include an initial surge that takes it above $100. From there, the crypto analyst expects the recovery to continue. An eventual break above the $1,000 level is mapped out, which would be an around 1,600% price increase from here. However, it doesn’t end there. The crypto analyst expects the price to eventually reach as high as $7,000. Now, if this were to play out, it would mean an over 11,000% price increase from the current price level.
As for the timeframe for when this is expected to play out, the crypto analyst seems to expect it to happen before 2026. This would put it in the expected 2025 bull run, where the likes of Bitcoin are expected to touch new all-time highs. But an 11,000% increase could easily make the Litecoin price the best performer out of the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
“If you hate it or not, but IMO Litecoin will outperform all the big cap Crypto’s. See you at $7000,” the post read.
On its own, the Litecoin price has not been very impressive. According to data from Coinmarketcap, the price is up only 1.42% in the last year, showing sluggish movement. Momentum has also declined rapidly, with total open interest remaining below $300 million for more than two months straight.
