The Litecoin price edged up a bit today. LTC is trading around $56.39, about 1.4% higher than yesterday. The move came as Bitcoin lifted the rest of the market.

The earlier decline slowed down around $55.33, and this is where buying emerged and halted the fall. Since then, it has been stuck around this region, trying to hold up.

If $55.33 continues to hold up, then traders will next look around $59, which is where the last rebound terminated If $54.59 gives way, the price could drift back toward $53.22.

The “Digital Silver” Narrative Is Returning

Crypto analyst Tanaka brought back an old but familiar idea: Litecoin as “digital silver.”

The concept has existed for years. Bitcoin is often compared to digital gold, while Litecoin has historically been positioned as the lighter, faster counterpart.

In his post, Tanaka pointed out that many investors recently regretted missing the strong rally in physical silver. For those looking for a similar narrative inside crypto, Litecoin (LTC)  is often the first asset that comes up.

But the analyst’s argument is not based only on the narrative. Tanaka highlighted that the Litecoin network has been quietly processing significant activity this year. 

In fact, just in the last two months alone, over 11.5 million transactions have been made on the network. In all, Litecoin has now seen over 380 million transactions in its lifetime.

In a space where many projects claim adoption but can’t demonstrate usage, these numbers still represent a milestone.

According to Tanaka, networks that consistently process real on-chain activity often deserve closer attention than projects that rely purely on hype.

Here’s the Litecoin Price If the Narrative Gains Strength

At writing, Litecoin is trading around $56.39, sitting just above the support zone that recently held the market.

The first level traders are watching on the upside sits near $59–$60. That area has acted as resistance during recent rebounds and could become the first test if buyers keep pushing the price higher.

If the Litecoin price breaks above that level and manages to hold it, the next potential target could appear near $65–$68, where the chart previously saw heavy trading activity.

A stronger rally in the crypto space, especially if the “digital silver” narrative starts to gain some traction again, could propel the price of Litecoin to the $75 to $80 price range, which would be a much larger level of price recovery.

However, the bullish price prediction will also rely on the price of Litecoin continuing to hold the $55 price level as the level of support. If the Litecoin price breaks below that price level, it could potentially fall to the $53 price level or the $50 price level again.

For now, Litecoin is moving silently while much of the market focuses on larger assets. But if investors start looking for a “digital silver” trade inside crypto again, LTC could quickly find itself back in the spotlight.

How The ByteDance App Survived Trump And A US Ban

How The ByteDance App Survived Trump And A US Ban

The post How The ByteDance App Survived Trump And A US Ban appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON, DC – MARCH 13: Participants hold signs in support of TikTok outside the U.S. Capitol Building on March 13, 2024 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) Getty Images From President Trump’s first ban attempt to a near-blackout earlier this year, TikTok’s five-year roller coaster ride looks like it’s finally slowing down now that Trump has unveiled a deal framework to keep the ByteDance app alive in the U.S. A look back at the saga around TikTok starting in 2020, however, shows just how close the app came to being shut out of the US – how it narrowly averted a ban and forced sale that found rare bipartisan backing in Washington. Recapping TikTok’s dramatic five-year battle When I interviewed Brendan Carr back in 2022, for example, the future FCC chairman was already certain at that point that TikTok’s days were numbered. For a litany of perceived sins — everything from the too-cozy relationship of the app’s parent company with China’s ruling regime to the app’s repeated floating of user privacy — Carr was already convinced, at least during his conversation with me, that: “The tide is going out on TikTok.” It was, in fact, one of the few issues that Washington lawmakers seemed to agree on. Even then-President Biden was on board, having resurrected Trump’s aborted TikTok ban from his first term and signed it into law. “It feels different now than it did two years ago at the end of the Trump administration, when concerns were first raised,” Carr told me then, in August of 2022. “I think, like a lot of things in the Trump era, people sort of picked sides on the issue based on the fact that it was Trump.” One thing led to another, though, and it looked like Carr was probably…
