Litecoin Rebounds, Holds Firm Near $93 on Potential ETF Positioning

Litecoin LTC recovered from am overnight sell-off, rising more than 2% and reaffirming support near $93. The bounce coincided with gains in traditional markets after a cooler-than-expected U.S. CPI report.

The digital currency slipped after midnight UTC, losing ground from a $93.58 peak, before attracting buy-side interest that helped stabilize the price around $91.

Analysis suggests market participants may be positioning ahead of a potential litecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart has assigned a 90% probability of such approval later this year, placing LTC alongside Solana's sol SOL as leading candidates in a possible “Altcoin ETF Summer.”
