Key Takeaways
Litecoin (LTC) is on the verge of a significant milestone: breaking through a key resistance after years of consolidation.
The $135 resistance area is the final barrier before open skies toward higher prices.
With bullish momentum brewing, it is only a matter of time before Litecoin breaks out.
On the weekly chart, Litecoin has finally broken out of a long-term descending resistance trendline — a move that came after five failed attempts.
The price is now testing the key $135 horizontal resistance level, a barrier it hasn’t cleared since early 2022.
This $135 zone has been pivotal since 2021, acting as both strong resistance and solid support at different times.
What makes it even more significant is the lack of major resistance above it until around $280.
A decisive weekly close above $135 could set Litecoin up for a parabolic rally.
Adding to the bullish case, momentum indicators signal that a breakout may be just around the corner.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above 50, and the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is positive. Both are moving higher.
So, the weekly technical analysis predicts a Litecoin breakout, indicating that it is right around the corner.
Litecoin’s long-term outlook is even more bullish, suggesting a new all-time high price is possible this cycle.
While LTC still struggles with its horizontal resistance at $135, it has already broken out from its primary diagonal resistance.
The resistance has existed since the 2021 all-time high, so the breakout is a clear sign that the downtrend has ended.
While that is positive, the most interesting thing from the long-term chart is the wave count.

Since the start of 2018, LTC has completed an A-B-C-D-E structure (red).
If that is the case, a new five-wave upward movement began in June (green), and Litecoin is in wave three.
A preliminary target for the top of wave three is near $280, while the entire rally could end at $640.
So, the wave count suggests Litecoin might still reach a new all-time high price this year.
If Litecoin can secure a decisive weekly close above $135, the stage may be set for a powerful surge toward $280 and beyond.
The combination of bullish chart patterns, strong momentum indicators, and a completed long-term corrective structure suggests the downtrend is truly over.
This could be the beginning of a historic run toward new all-time highs for LTC.
