Traders are Pililing up Sell Orders as Fears of the Halving ‘Doom’ Grows
In further confirmation of the growing fears of Litecoin Halving doom, LTC sell-orders have outpaced buy-orders across various crypto exchanges. According to the Exchange On-chain Market Depth chart below, supply has exceeded demand by a considerable margin.
As things stand, crypto traders have put up 465,000 LTC coins for sale. This is disproportionately higher than the current active buy-orders of 339,000 LTC.
The Exchange On-chain Market Depth shows the price distribution of the active buy and sell orders placed across various exchanges. When the “Ask” side is significantly higher than the “Bid” side, as seen above, it indicates impending sell-pressure
Currently, there is a market surplus of nearly 126,000 LTC. Such a high volume excess supply typically puts downward pressure on the price of an asset. Traders could lower their asking prices to get their orders filled quicker.
Considering Litecoin’s price corrections during the 2015 and 2019 Halving events, these ongoing fears could trigger another post-halving price crash in August 2023.
LTC Price Prediction: The $85 Support is Critical
IntoTheBlock’s GlOM data shows that LTC could enter a larger price correction if it loses the initial $85 support level. However, the 570,000 addresses that bought 2.18 million LTC at a minimum price of $85.99 could pose a formidable first line of defense.
