Litecoin leads the optimistic ETF signal as the market meets after Powell speaks


By Omkar Godbolole (all time and unless otherwise indicated)

The cryptographic market is positively quoted with the Fed risk event, focusing on positive ones such as the friendly president with the cryptographic in the White House, the renewed increase in the Tether market and the effect of the Chinese New Year.

Among the cryptocurrencies with market valuations of more than $ 5 billion, the prominent interpreter is Litecoin (LTC), the gold to Bitcoin’s gold, which has jumped more than 11% from the first Asian hours compared to the 1 % to 3% for rest. It is the third best performance of the 100 main currencies in the last 24 hours, thanks to the SEC that recognizes the proposal of ETF of Litecoin de Canary Capital. That has been opened for public comments, a movement that suggests a possible approval in the coming months.

“This is the first presentation of ETF Altcoin to be recognized,” said Bloomberg’s senior analyst Etf, Eric Balchunas, in X, pointing out that the proposal is the one that advances the most in the regulatory requirements.

A potential list could be as positive for LTC as it has been for BTC and ETH. Keep in mind that despite the increase in prices at $ 130, LTC is still well below the record success of $ 410 in 2021. Its price chart shows a constructive perspective (see the technical analysis section below).

In other key developments, the activity in the chain tracked by Glassnode shows a lower level of retail participation in BTC right than in November. That is encouraging for bulls looking for signs about whether the last movement above $ 100,000 is sustainable. Meanwhile, Lombard Finance is becoming more dominant in Bitcoin’s rethinking space, capturing a giant part of the total BTC this week.

The number of active Ethereum addresses recently exceeded a maximum of March 2024, indicating a renewed increase in the chain activity, according to Intotheblock data. The price of Ether has crossed over $ 3,200, but has not yet clear the bold trend line that connects the maximums of December 16 and January 6.

In traditional markets, the 10 -year reference treasure yield has decreased to 4.50%, visiting the minimum of Monday in an upward movement for risk assets. BTC optimists may be waiting for the central PCE inflation of the United States to arrive later later today, which drives the performance of the bonds even lower.

That said, we will also obtain the GDP of the fourth quarter together with the weekly unemployment claims report. Meanwhile, European gasoline prices have increased to a maximum of 15 months and could inject some volatility in risk assets. Stay alert!
