If buying pressure keeps building, CryptoBoss expects LTC to test $46.42 first. This level could act as a liquidity sweep before further gains.
From there, the analyst pointed to $46.89 as the next stop. Continued strength could then push the price toward $47.30 and $47.60.
These targets depend on LTC holding above its support zone. A failure to do so could shift the short-term outlook.
MWEB Adoption Passes 500,000 LTC
Separately, the Litecoin Foundation posted an update on X about the network’s optional privacy feature. The Foundation said MimbleWimble Extension Blocks, or MWEB, have crossed 500,000 LTC pegged into the layer.
MWEB lets users make private transactions on Litecoin. It keeps the network’s usual perks, including fast transfers and low fees.
The Litecoin Foundation’s post suggests demand for privacy is growing. More users appear to be moving their LTC into MWEB rather than just talking about it.
500,000 $LTC has now been pegged into Litecoin's MimbleWimble Extension Blocks (#MWEB).
