cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Litecoin has broken above $70 after spending most of 2026 in tight consolidation. The price moved above a declining trendline, bringing the next target of $85 back into focus. More than a 150% increase in trading volume accompanied the move. The outlet asks if the LTC price can reach $100 this month.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for LTC, measured when this story was written up on 25 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Litecoin is trading at $71.95 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 50.7%, indicating balanced sentiment over the day. However, the 1-hour buy ratio has dropped to 37.8%, suggesting short-term selling pressure is outweighing buying. The 1-hour volume delta is negative at -$459,739, showing net outflows in the last hour, while the 4-hour delta is positive at +$450,833. This divergence implies that while recent hours saw profit-taking, the broader four-hour trend remains net positive. The 24-hour cumulative volume delta stands at +$2,143,239, confirming that net buying has dominated the full day.
The latest daily buy ratio of 44.9% sits at the 4th percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 49.3% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for LTC, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 50.9%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 50.7% nearly identical to the weekly norm. Trading volume today was 4.42 times the average, marking an unusual surge in activity compared to the standard daily baseline. The 8-day volume delta totaled +$6,273,670, with net buying occurring on 4 of the last 7 days. This sustained weekly inflow contrasts with the immediate 1-hour outflow, highlighting a shift from strong weekly accumulation to short-term distribution.
