Large-cap altcoins: LTC soars 10%, AVAX’s $1B accumulation strategy, ADA eyes $1

Digital tokens were bullish on Thursday as the global cryptocurrency market cap reclaimed the $4 trillion mark. The altcoin season narrative is gaining ground again as Bitcoin eyes breakouts above $120,000, currently trading at $119,490. With markets seemingly ripe for “Uptober” gains, with Litecoin, Avalanche, and Cardano registering developments on Thursday. Litecoin turns bullish LTC tested the breakout level at $120 after a 10% rally over the past 24 hours. It is trading at $119 after a brief retracement from $122 intraday peak. Chart by Coinmarketcap The digital token hovers at a crucial juncture, as stability above $120 could support short-term rallies to the December 2024 high at $140. Renowned analyst Captain Faibik issued a bullish forecast for LTC. He highlighted that the altcoin has consolidated for several years, with higher lows and lower highs compressing prices into a tight range. Generally, such patterns trigger substantial breakouts towards either direction. Faibik expects massive gains once LTC reclaims $150-$160, with the resistance at $280 as the next crucial resistance. Steady bull rallies in the fourth quarter could see Litecoin rally to all-time highs of above $400. However, declines below the $110 psychological mark and the key barrier at $100 would hinder the upside in the near term. $1B treasury plans renew interest in AVAX AVAX was in the limelight today after the Avalanche Treasury – backed by the Avalanche Foundation – revealed plans to add assets worth $1 billion to its crypto reserves.
