Litecoin trades above key level, but is a correction looming?

Long-term holders’ confidence in Litecoin has increased over the past months.
A metric suggested that LTC was overvalued, indicating a price correction. 

As the market turned bullish, Litecoin [LTC] managed to trade above a crucial level. Will this development allow LTC to begin its journey towards $100? Let’s have a closer look at the coin’s state to find out whether that’s possible.
Litecoin trades above a key level
Litecoin bulls were having a good time in the market as the coin’s price increased by over 3% last week. The bullish trend continued in the last 24 hours because the coin witnessed yet another 3% surge in its value.
At the time of writing, LTC was trading at $65.58 with a market capitalization of over $4.9 billion, making it the 19th largest crypto.
Despite the price increase, only 22% of Litecoin investors were in profit, as per IntoTheBlock. However, the trend might change as the coin managed to test a crucial support level.
Crypto Tony, a popular crypto analyst, recently posted a tweet revealing that LTC’s successful test of the support could result in a price rebound. In fact, a price rebound could allow LTC to move towards the resistance of $100 in the coming days or weeks.

Glassnode’s data also pointed out a similar possibility. As per the Pi Cycle Top indicator, the possible LTC market top was near $148. This suggested that it won’t be a long shot to expect LTC climbing towards $100 in the coming days.

For example, Litecoin’s velocity dropped. This meant that LTC was used less often in transactions within a set timeframe. Moreover, its NVT ratio registered an uptick.
