Litecoin’s market capitalization rose to $6 billion – analysts predict growth for this utilitarian coin

DeeLance

Even though the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) did not name the cryptocurrency Litecoin in its scandalous lawsuits against prominent exchanges Binance and Coinbase announced earlier this week, the price of LTC still suffered a spike.

The LTC/USD pair last traded around $87, down nearly 7% for the week and about 10% from the weekly highs around $97 that the coin hit over the weekend.

Nevertheless, Litecoin has managed to maintain a market capitalization of over $6 billion. The last time the cryptocurrency’s market capitalization was around $6.45 billion.

LTC bulls can take solace in the fact that Litecoin found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) again earlier in the week. However, there was a bearish price movement mid-week when LTC failed to rise above its 21 DMA on Wednesday and fell more than 1% already on Thursday. Apparently, a retest of the 200 DMA is just around the corner.

Price forecast – what’s next for Litecoin (LTC)?

However, the bulls should not be afraid (at least not yet). Litecoin continues to form a bullish long-term chart, which, combined with important upcoming fundamental events, could lead the cryptocurrency higher later this year.

Since November, LTC has been in the process of forming a bullish ascending triangle pattern with support in the form of an uptrend from lows below $50 and resistance in the form of first year highs around $103-105.

Such moves usually form before a major bullish breakout, so technical analysts are talking about the possibility that LTC could rise 50-60% from current levels to test major 2022 resistance points around $135-145.

Fundamental factors seem to be trying to support this move

According to nicehash.com, the reward per block for Litecoin miners will halve in just 54 days from 12.5 LTC per block to 6.25. This represents a halving of the cryptocurrency inflation rate. Analysts see this as a major potential bullish catalyst.

Litecoin continues to demonstrate its strengths as a secure decentralized payment blockchain. The resurgence of meme-token speculation and the growing popularity of the Ordinals protocol saw transaction fees on the congestion-prone Bitcoin and Efirium blockchains skyrocket early last month. Litecoin has also seen a surge in network activity.

According to data provided by Glassnode, Litecoin’s 7-day moving average of daily transactions hit a record high of nearly 500,000 on May 14 before dropping to around 220,000 as of Wednesday, still double its early 2023 levels.

Instead of increasing, however, transaction prices have dropped significantly. According to Glassnode data, commissions dropped from 0.00013 LTC in mid-April to a record low of 0.00004 LTC by mid-May and haven’t risen much from those levels.

Litecoin could gain further traction as a means of payment due to its high transaction speeds and low fees, as already evidenced by the growing use of the cryptocurrency on crypto-payment platform BitPay.

An alternative to Litecoin (LTC) is DeeLance (DLANCE)

Wise investors usually consider diversifying their crypto portfolio with projects that feature a higher probability of short-term profits.

One high-risk, high-reward investment strategy that some investors participate in is pre-selling digital assets. This is where traders can buy tokens of nascent crypto projects to fund their development.

These assets are almost always sold very cheaply. A lot of successful pre-sale cases making huge profits for their early investors speak for themselves.

Behind many of these projects are fantastic teams and a desire to create a revolutionary crypto application or platform. These projects have the risk/reward ratio of their pre-sale investments working in the trader’s favor.

What is DeeLance (DLANCE)?

An innovative new Web3 project called DeeLance is working on creating a meta-universe based on crypto and NFT. The project has set a goal to move the labor market to blockchain.

DeeLance, which is being advertised as one of the hottest crypto startups of 2023, is developing a meta-universe that connects freelancers and employers. It promises to change remote work forever, as well as the $761 billion dollar recruiting sector.

Using the decentralization and transparency of blockchain, DeeLance wants to eliminate middlemen like Fiverr and Upwork that have abused the trust of freelancers and employers alike over the past decade.

DeeLance has already caused a huge stir in Web3 circles. Some contributors believe it has the potential to turn the Web2 sector-centric freelancing economy upside down. The project has already raised a whopping $1.29 million dollars in just a few weeks since the launch of the $DLANCE token presale.

DeeLance also recently received a whopping $1.12 million investment from leading venture capital firm Bitgert Ventures. This is a sign that even big companies have taken notice of the great potential of the project.

Investors should go ahead and buy the tokens because when the presale reaches $1.7 million, the price will rise from its current cheap level to $0.038. Considering that DLANCE will debut on major cryptocurrency exchanges later this year at a price of $0.57, investors who make a decision now could realize a profit of around 50%.

Adding to the tension is DeeLance’s massive $500,000 $DLANCE token giveaway contest. The top five wallets that buy the most $DLANCE dollars before the end of the fourth phase of the presale will get a share in $DLANCE tokens.
