Litecoin ($LTC) has been making waves in the crypto space, with over 60% of its holders now in profit—the highest figure since April.
However, a significant portion of holders still at a loss purchased during 2021’s peak prices.
As they approach break-even, selling pressure could create resistance, though some believe Litecoin may push through to set new highs in this cycle.
