cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Litecoin has broken out of a months-long range, surging toward $75 with the $80 level now in sight. The rally has accelerated alongside a sharp rise in futures positioning, with open interest climbing toward yearly highs. Additionally, spot ETF holdings continue to surge as the price pushes above the key $60–$62 resistance.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for LTC, measured when this story was written up on 26 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Litecoin is trading at $72.59, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 51.3% compared to a 49.3% ratio over the last 4 hours. This indicates that short-term buying pressure is building relative to the recent 4-hour window, though the 24-hour buy ratio remains balanced at 50.2%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$44,693, contrasting with a negative -$99,443 delta over the past 4 hours. This suggests that recent trades are favoring buyers, whereas the broader 4-hour flow has seen net selling. Over the last 24 hours, the cumulative volume delta stands at +$202,716, with a closing cumulative volume delta (CVD) of +$418,661, confirming net buying over 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 50.8%, while the latest day shows a ratio 0.6 percentage points lower than that average. This suggests a slight cooling in buying dominance compared to the weekly norm. However, spot volume is 1.13 times the average, indicating significantly higher activity. The coin has risen 24.8% over the last 8 days, with a total volume delta of +$6,003,955. This marks an unusual day for the coin in terms of volume intensity, despite the marginal dip in buy ratio relative to the weekly average.
