The daily timeframe market structure was flipped bearish once more on 10 June. This came after LTC breached the recent higher low at $83 and fell toward the $70 region. It reached the low of $70.75 but encountered a bullish order block from March, highlighted in cyan. This occurred on 14 June.
The bulls were able to slowly push prices higher since then. On 30 June the buyers took no prisoners and succeeded not only in breaking the market structure but also in defeating the 1-day bearish order block in the $100 area within a day.
This showed strong bullish intent. The OBV has also trended upward since March, despite the pullback seen in April. In early 2023 Litecoin noted sizeable gains alongside the rest of the market. This appeared likely to continue.
The Fibonacci retracement levels plotted based on the move that led to the break in structure suggested that a retracement to the 50% level at $92.88 was possible. However, the bearish order block at $100 will likely serve as a bullish breaker upon retest and could see LTC move higher.

This metric showed that since April Litecoin movement between addresses has been on the rise. This was in contrast to the rising OBV and the expectation that investors would be accumulating the asset across the network.
