The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap continued with its impressive 2021 performance by registering yet another ATH over $4000. With a significant market dominance, the largest altcoin has witnessed an exponential surge in volumes traded over the past few months. 

Recently, analyst, Rekt Capital shed light on a trend for ETH/BTC pair which was last observed in December 2017.

Looking at the ETH/BTC chart, the analyst hinted at a possible surge in buying. Additionally, he drew parallels with another altcoin’s price trajectory Litecoin.

LTC prices surged by 35% to hit a one-year high against Bitcoin (BTC) this week, signaling an upside momentum for the remainder of the ongoing monthly session. The analyst speculated that chances of LTC registering a new ATH were very likely, owing to the coin’s correlation with the premier altcoin Ethereum.

Blockchain analytics firm, Glassnode noted a dramatic hike in the number of active Litecoin addresses since the beginning of 2021, indicating a rising demand for the crypto-silver.

The analyst also provided an argument for his hypothesis of LTC hitting ATHs. He stated that the asset had recently broken two important resistance levels – $226 and $305.

Another analyst claimed:

“I think it’s realistic to say that Litecoin will reach above $1,000 eventually, maybe even close to $1,500.”
