Litecoin (LTC) – Could $650 Be Within Reach?Litecoin (LTC), currently priced at around $90, is starting to look very promising to both retail and institutional investors. Many are looking at a 1.618 Fibonacci extension target of $650, which represents a potential upside of over 600% from its current price. This could make Litecoin a highly profitable asset for those considering an investment.
Litecoin’s historical performance adds weight to this optimism. It achieved its all-time high of $413 during the 2021 bull run—a clear demonstration of its ability to surge when market conditions are favorable. With Litecoin now at $90, the price target of $650 is seen as both ambitious and attainable if the market continues to move in a bullish direction.
Several factors point to the potential for Litecoin to reach $650:
1. Fibonacci Extension at 1.618: The 1.618 Fibonacci extension is a critical technical level that traders closely watch during uptrends. Litecoin’s current price action is aligning with this target, suggesting that $650 could be a key level if the market continues to show strength.
2. Institutional Interest and Adoption: As cryptocurrency adoption continues to grow, Litecoin’s appeal to institutional investors is also rising. Litecoin offers faster transactions and lower fees compared to Bitcoin, making it an attractive alternative for both retail users and institutions looking to diversify their portfolios.
3. Network Upgrades: Litecoin is also actively improving its network. The integration of MimbleWimble, a privacy-focused protocol, and the Lightning Network, which enables faster and cheaper transactions, is enhancing Litecoin’s functionality and scalability. These upgrades are expected to increase Litecoin’s usability and could drive further demand.
4. Strong Market Position: Litecoin is consistently ranked among the top 20 cryptocurrencies, with a solid market cap and strong trading volume. This stability provides a strong foundation for future price growth, especially if more investors look for reliable, established cryptocurrencies.
While reaching $650 would represent a substantial rise from its current price, Litecoin’s fundamentals, technical indicators, and growing institutional interest all point to a bullish outlook for the coin in the near future.
However, it’s important to remember that cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and subject to rapid price fluctuations. As with any investment, you should always do your own research, evaluate your risk tolerance, and consult with a financial advisor before making any decisions.
Nov.12-Nov.18(ETH)Weekly market recapAs the cryptocurrency market continues to expand, several factors will influence the sustainability of the current upward trend.
Firstly, the direction of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy is crucial. If inflation resurges and leads to a tightening of monetary policy, it could pose a significant obstacle to market gains. Additionally, the implementation of specific policies by the Trump administration, including the establishment of regulatory frameworks and strategic reserves, will also play a vital role.
Moreover, the ongoing participation of institutional investors is a key factor, as their capital flows often have a substantial impact on market trends. Currently, the cumulative net inflow for BTC ETFs stands at $27.714 billion, while ETH ETFs have seen a net inflow of $139 million.
It is noteworthy that since August 5 of this year, Tether has minted over $7 billion USDT on the Ethereum blockchain. Changes in the supply of stablecoins have become an important market indicator; an increase in stablecoin supply not only reflects market confidence in cryptocurrencies but also provides potential support for subsequent price increases.
After retreating to around $3,000 last week, ETH has been experiencing fluctuations. The blue bars of the WTA indicator, which represent whale activity, are still present. The orange wave area of the ME indicator has shifted to purple, indicating a strengthening of bullish sentiment.
In summary, we believe that ETH may rise this week, but it is essential to remain cautious of price volatility risks. We maintain a resistance level at $3,400 and a support level at $3,000.

In summary, we believe BTC may experience an upward movement this week, but caution is warranted regarding price volatility risks. We have adjusted the resistance level to $95,000 and the support level to $85,000.

OTHERS D. HIGHER LOW @ BB SUPPORTHello, dear altcoin enthusiasts! Happy Friday!
This is OTHERS.D on the weekly chart. FYI, OTHERS.D represents the total market cap of crypto excluding the top 10 altcoins.
A higher low appears to be forming on the weekly time frame, with the Bollinger Bands holding as support. If this level holds, it could mark the starting point of the next altseason. However, we must wait for the weekly close to confirm. Patience is key.
The next update will be on Sunday. Stay safe and enjoy these wonderful days we’re living in!
Ripple Is Breaking Bullish TriangleWe talked about Ripple with ticker XRPUSD back on September 12, where we mentioned and highlighted that a larger bullish triangle pattern in wave IV is coming to an end that we may see a bullish breakout for wave V.
As you can see today on November 15th, XRPUSD is breaking out of a larger bullish wave IV triangle pattern, which means that wave V can be already underway, especially if breaks 0.95 bullish confirmation level, just watch out on short-term pullbacks.
The reason why Ripple could extend higher is the upcoming launch of Ripple USD (RLUSD). Ripple USD (RLUSD) is a new stablecoin aimed at bridging blockchain and traditional finance. Designed for enterprise use, RLUSD focuses on stability, efficiency, and transparency, enhancing Ripple’s cross-border payments and meeting the demand for USD transactions.
KuCoin Is Looking For A Bullish ContinuationKuCoin with ticker KCSUSD is nicely rising as expected after we spotted a completed higher degree wave IV correction and bullish breakout for a higher degree wave V a year ago.
As you can see today, KCSUSD is still holding up well and it may actually formed a lower degree bullish setup formation with subwaves 1 and 2, which can now extend the rally within subwave 3 of a five-wave bullish cycle within that higher degree wave V.
KCS is KuCoin's native token, launched in 2017 as a profit-sharing token. Initially issued as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, its total supply was 200 million, with plans to reduce it to 100 million through buybacks and burns. KCS will eventually become the native asset for KuCoin's decentralized financial services and governance. KuCoin aims to empower KCS, making it a key product within its ecosystem. As KuCoin develops its DEX and KuChain, KCS will serve as the primary token for these decentralized products.
Nov.05-Nov.11(ETH)Weekly market recapLast week, Trump defeated Democratic candidate Harris on Wednesday to win the 2024 U.S. presidential election, following his promises of several supportive cryptocurrency initiatives that are expected to materialize. These include the dismissal of the Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the establishment of a strategic BTC reserve to hold digital currencies obtained from assets seized from financial criminals by the federal government, and the promotion of the U.S. BTC mining industry, with the hope that the remaining global BTC will be mined in the United States.
Currently, the U.S. is in a rate-cutting cycle, with a reduction already implemented on November 8, and another expected this year. As long as the CPI data on November 13 does not exceed expectations, the likelihood of further rate cuts is significant.
Last week, there was a substantial net inflow into ETH ETFs, indicating that following Trump's victory, the favorable monetary policy has sparked optimism and speculative behavior among investors, leading to a significant influx of capital into the cryptocurrency market.
Given the current landscape, the cryptocurrency-friendly regulatory environment, the substantial inflow of funds into ETH ETFs, and the macroeconomic benefits of the Federal Reserve's rate cuts are all catalysts for ETH's rise last week and its potential future increases.
Under the leadership of BTC, ETH exhibited a one-sided upward trend last week, with the increase nearly compensating for the decline experienced since July of this year. The WTA indicator has shown blue bars, indicative of whale activity, suggesting significant capital inflow. Meanwhile, the orange wave area of the ME indicator is rapidly tightening, signaling a weakening of bearish sentiment.
In summary, we anticipate that ETH may rise this week, although caution is warranted regarding potential pullbacks. We have adjusted the resistance level to 3400 and the support level to 3000.

📝According to the pinned analysis at the bottom of the page (previous post), Bitcoin is currently completing its fifth wave, with its first expected resistance range around $93,000 to $95,000.
If this range is lost, the next resistance level is between $111,000 and $115,000.
If a divergence appears with the RSI indicator at these resistance levels, it could be a signal to enter a sell position.
If the price gets rejected from the specified levels, I will announce the targets and update the analysis.

What is next for BTC?Hi, it has been a long time since my last post but I feel like I should give my thoughts in the future of BTC.
I believe the we will see the same pattern that we had in the 2021 bull run and BTC could potentially hit a new ATH this year. I don't think we will have the strenght to reach 100K but 80K BTC can be done. If this is your first bull run I advise you to trade carefully since the bottom of BTC might still come before the next leg up. In the previous bull run we started strong in the first few months and then slowed down in June and July. I think the same will happen this year (first BTC and then altcoins). If my predictions are correct I will post a BTC chart when its time to sell. Comment what you think and follow please!
Note: This is not financial advice, trade carefully.

ALTcoins Are Trying To Follow Bitcoin; DeFi Bulls Are HereWe talked about DeFi Index back on August 21, when we actually spotted a completed complex W-X-Y corrective setback that gave us a bullish setup formation of a larger degree.
Since August it's been mostly accumulating and with a broken channel resistance line connected from the highs, it's probably forming a bullish setup formation with a sharp wave (1), which was followed by an A-B-C flat correction in wave (2) that nicely retested upper channel line as a support.
So, with current sharp and impulsive rally, watch out for a strong bullish continuation within wave (3) of a five-wave bullish cycle that can send the price back to March highs, especially if breaks base channel resistance line and 1000 bullish confirmation level.
