Crypto Analyst Predicts 1,500% Pump As Litecoin Grows Against Bitcoin

Litecoin has been gaining momentum in recent weeks, and according to crypto analyst Tony “The Bull” Severino, this might be just the beginning of an explosive rally. Although Litecoin also started February on a decline alongside the rest of the crypto market, it has since detached and has recovered from these losses. 

This interesting Litecoin price move has seen it outperforming against Bitcoin. In a post shared on social media platform X, Severino projected that Litecoin could significantly outperform Bitcoin in the coming months and pump by 1,500%.

LTC’s Growing Strength Against Bitcoin

Litecoin has remained relatively quiet in this market cycle, drawing less attention compared to top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP. However, technical analysis shows that LTC has started to outperform Bitcoin, especially in the past two months.

This trend with Litecoin and Bitcoin was highlighted through a multi-year monthly candlestick chart shared by crypto analyst Tony Severino. As shown by the chart below, the Litcoin / Bitcoin pair has been on an uptrend after rebounding on the bottom trendline of its multi-year descending channel. 

Tony Severino noted that Litecoin will continue to push upwards in this channel, which will cause the price to continue outperforming Bitcoin on the monthly timeframe. Regarding a price prediction, the analyst noted two targets for the pair. The first target is at 0.006275 BTC, which is just around the upper trendline of this channel. From here, a continued breakout is expected to push the Litecoin / Bitcoin pair to the final target of 0.02 BTC. 

As of now, the LTC/BTC pair is trading at approximately 0.003, meaning the first target suggests a 110% increase against Bitcoin, while the final target points to a 566% surge.

Litecoin Price Targets If It Continues To Grow Against Bitcoin

The predicted outperformance of Litecoin against Bitcoin places Litecoin at new all-time highs. Provided that Bitcoin continues to trade around the $100,000 mark and the LTC/BTC pair continues its upward trajectory, Litecoin’s first price target at 0.006275 BTC would correspond to a valuation of approximately $630. Should the pair reach the final target of 0.02 BTC, the price could skyrocket to around $2,000. 

This scenario of Litecoin strongly outpacing Bitcoin if it continues to range around $100,000 could set off a domino effect and cause an altcoin season. This altcoin season could cause capital flows from Bitcoin into the altcoin market, causing other altcoins to also outperform Bitcoin.

However, Bitcoin could eventually start climbing beyond $100,000. In this case, Litecoin’s relative strength on the Litecoin / Bitcoin pair would still be crucial. If it continues to trend upward even while the Bitcoin price appreciates, the price targets for Litecoin will be even higher. A push toward 0.006275 or 0.02 in the LTC/BTC pair amid a rising Bitcoin market would result in prices that exceed the initial $630 and $2,000 targets.

At the time of writing, LTC is trading at $126 after recently reaching an intraday high of $136.
