The Litecoin price has been one of the better-performing assets since a wave of bearish pressure swept the market this past week. While the altcoin initially succumbed to the downward pressure, the price of LTC has recovered to its former highs before the downturn.

Thanks to its recent positive momentum and resilience, the Litecoin price is outperforming Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Now, the question is — how long can LTC keep this up against the Bitcoin price?

LTCBTC Rises 25% In February

In its latest post on the X platform, market intelligence firm Santiment shared that the price of Litecoin has been doing excellently against the Bitcoin price in recent weeks. According to the on-chain analytics firm, LTC is one of the few altcoins that has improved its price dominance against Bitcoin in February.

According to data from CoinGecko, the Litecoin price (LTC/BTC ratio) increased by more than 25% against the premier cryptocurrency in the past month. However, Santiment believes that the altcoin is at risk of a mild correction in the near future.

This projection is based on the increasingly positive sentiment among Litecoin investors, especially over the past few days. Santiment revealed in its post on X a notable uptick in the number of active addresses on the Litecoin network over the past 24 hours.

According to the market intelligence platform, the number of active LTC addresses crossed 445,000 for the first time since February 1, 2025. While this significant rise in addresses signals increased network participation, the increasing social media and online discussions around LTC is the more worrying trend.

Santiment highlighted that the number of positive social media comments toward Litecoin is double that of negative comments for the first time since February 10. The overly bullish commentary spike can be bearish for the LTC/BTC ratio, signaling price exhaustion and investor fatigue in the short term. Moreover — from a historical perspective, prices tend to move in the opposite direction of the crypto crowd.

Litecoin Price — What’s Next?

As of this writing, the price of LTC stands at around $127, reflecting a 4.5% increase in the past 24 hours. The altcoin has nicely recovered after briefly falling below $110 in midweek, trimming its weekly losses to less than 1%.

According to popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez, the Litecoin price is currently within a consolidation range. However, the altcoin could be set for a run to the upside once it successfully breaks out and closes above $136 on the daily timeframe.

Opeyemi is a proficient writer and enthusiast in the exciting and unique cryptocurrency realm. While the digital asset industry was not his first choice, he has remained absolutely drawn since making a foray into the space over two years. Now, Opeyemi takes pride in creating unique pieces unraveling the complexities of blockchain technology and sharing insights on the latest trends in the world of cryptocurrencies.

Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part – in fact, far from it.

Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger.

When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix.

Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books – ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K.
Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that.

Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings.

Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time – he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better.

Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon – cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment – spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.
