Buyer-initiated orders have become the dominant force driving $LTC out of its lull.
Aggressive spot buying accounted for 66% of activity, directly pushing the price to $59.13 and breaking it out of the sideways range where it had been capped at $58.79 for the previous four hours.
Short-term trading volume rose to over $610,000, about 1.8 times the earlier average, as a flurry of buy orders quickly absorbed the existing sell-side liquidity overhead.
This rapid push higher clearly reflects concentrated short-term buying pressure, but after breaking out of the previous range, the trend will depend more on whether buyers and sellers can sustain turnover at higher levels.
