Key Insights:

  • Litecoin ETF approval chance soar by 90%, says Bloomberg ETF expert
  • Despite this positive development, market sentiment keeps pushing the LTC price to a lower level.
  • Recent price action suggests that the LTC price could drop 11% to reach its next support at $76.

The chances of approval for a spot Litecoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) in the United States have soared to 90%, as revealed by Bloomberg’s ETF expert on X (formerly Twitter). 

Despite this bullish disclosure, LTC, the native token of Litecoin, remains unchanged.

The current market sentiment isn’t responding to positive developments or announcements, such as the SEC reviewing ETF applications or comments like “Sell off U.S. gold reserves and use the proceeds to buy Bitcoin.”

Over the past weeks, these positive developments seem to be useless, as the market and prices have remained unchanged. 

Similarly, the increased chances of Litecoin ETF approval had no impact on LTC’s price; instead, it witnessed a massive decline.
