The price of Litecoin didn’t end May in the best possible way, especially considering its start to the month, falling from around $95 to beneath $85 before May 31st. While the start of June was quite strong, the altcoin has failed to maintain its bullish momentum each time a rally seemed to be on.
After falling beneath the $80 level on June 22, the Litecoin price seems to be back on its feet as it currently dances around the $87 mark. Interestingly, a fresh price outlook portraying an even brighter future for the cryptocurrency has emerged.
How Much LTC Price Surged After First Two Golden Crosses
In a recent post on the X platform, Chartered Market Technician Tony Severino shared an exciting analysis of the Litecoin price. According to the crypto expert, the price of LTC could embark on an explosive rally depending on its movement over the next few weeks.
This bullish projection is based on the potential formation of a Golden Cross — the third ever — on the Litecoin weekly chart. In a crypto context, a Golden Cross occurs when a short-term moving average (50-week moving average, in this case) crosses above a longer-term moving average (200-week moving average).
Typically, Golden Cross formations often precede and are associated with extended periods of bullish price movements. However, Severino believes that Litecoin is just weeks of a significant rally away from triggering its third-ever Golden Cross on the weekly price chart.

Severino cited the earlier two situations where the Golden Cross occurred after a substantial price rally. In the first instance, this chart phenomenon appeared on the Litecoin weekly timeframe after a 700% surge from the local lows in 2017. Meanwhile, the LTC rallied by 450% from its local bottom before the second-ever Golden Cross in 2021.
For each time the Golden Cross appeared on the chart, the price of Litecoin witnessed a significant bullish momentum. In 2017, the LTC price soared by 7,100% from around $5 to as high as $360. The altcoin jumped by more than 380% to reach its current all-time high of $410 after the Golden Cross formation in 2021.
If the Golden Cross does occur and history is anything to go by, the Litecoin price could be preparing to reach a new all-time high in its next leg up.

As of this writing, the price of LTC stands at around $86.26, reflecting a 1.7% increase in the past 24 hours. According to CoinGecko data, the altcoin is up by more than 7% in the last seven days.

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.
