Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Litecoin (LTC) Prepare for Parabolic Rally Ahead of Bitcoin Halving – Details

• Litecoin’s whales actively purchase and increase prices in anticipation of Bitcoin’s upcoming halving event.

• Bitcoin Cash is under pressure from miners selling, potentially pushing the price below $400, although there’s hope as there’s a support zone around $410.

The Litecoin (LTC) market is buzzing as whale investors push holdings near an all-time high, signaling a bullish sentiment ahead of the upcoming Bitcoin halving. With the halving estimated to occur on April 19, less than two months away, rival Proof of Work (PoW) networks like Bitcoin Cash (BCH)  have also seen significant growth. This trend hints at a potential shift of resources from Bitcoin to other PoW networks as miners and stakeholders seek more profitable avenues.

The foundations of Litecoin’s stability have been long-term investors, sometimes known as Hodlers, who hang onto their assets for durations longer than a year. These Hodlers have substantial control over LTC supply, indicating their high optimism about Litecoin’s future. Furthermore, current patterns show that the supply dynamics are changing, with mid-term holders purchasing LTC for shorter periods, from one month to a year. This shift points to an increasing preference for holding instead of quick selling, which could support LTC’s price stability in the days ahead.

Whale Movements Influence Price Surge

The current spike in Litecoin’s value can be attributed to the actions of whale investors, who possess significant quantities of LTC in their wallets. These major entities are strategically accumulating Litecoin, as seen by observations, and between January 27 and March 5, there was a notable increase in acquisitions. The price of LTC has increased as a result of this increase in whale activity, demonstrating the critical role that institutional investors play in influencing market dynamics. Moreover, the fact that whale holdings are getting close to a record high indicates that optimism about Litecoin’s future trajectory has returned.

The price of Litecoin has risen dramatically, rising 28% between February 29 and March 2. This surge allowed LTC to regain the $95 mark for the first time since the halving event. Even after a further pullback, during which LTC found support at approximately $85, investor sentiment remains positive. 

Notably, analysts predict Litecoin’s price trajectory will face both chances and challenges. Important resistance and support levels are important indicators for determining how resilient LTC is to market swings. Setting $100 as a floor for support would give LTC a solid base for future growth and open up lucrative chances for investors.

Bitcoin Cash Facing Selling Pressure

As a result of a mining community selling frenzy, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) may face downward pressure in contrast to Litecoin’s upward trend. This might cause the price to fall below $400 prior to the halves. However, a buy-wall of $410 provides initial support, as evidenced by IntoTheBlock data showing 820,370 addresses purchasing BCH at the $408 maximum price.

IntoTheBlock’s analysis shows that BCH could have resistance at $750 after halving. Reaching this barrier might enable a rise above $1,000. Factors like optimistic mood and long-term holders reducing selling pressure could affect BCH’s short- to medium-term price trajectory.
