A significant portion of the cryptocurrency market saw changes for the majority of April, and Litecoin [LTC] was no exception. But pricing performance is not the point here. Rather, the Hodler Net Position Change was the noteworthy rotation.
Investors are cashing out if this indicator is negative. Positive readings, however, point to buildup. The Hodler Net Position Change on April 27th was positive, meaning that long-term holders had purchased 57,095 coins.
No longer withdrawals using cash
This measure was negative for the entire month of March and the second week of February. This gave rise to conjecture that LTC might not be in the same category as other cryptocurrencies predicted to soar in the upcoming months.
But since the net position movement has been steady since April 5th, that may no longer be the case. If accumulation exceeds cash outflows, Litecoin may defy pessimistic forecasts and move in the direction of bulls.
As of the time of writing, Litecoin was trading at $18.37, a decline of 18.42% over the previous seven days.
The bulls are getting ready
We looked at a few other metrics that can have a long-term effect on the coin to put it into perspective. We started by thinking about the inactive circulation.
This on-chain statistic keeps track of the quantity of distinct coins that are traded within a day despite being idle for an extended period of time. Prices typically fall when latent circulation spikes.
On the Litecoin network, the 365-day dormant circulation was, nevertheless, at its lowest level since April 9. This number suggests that the majority of long-term holders would prefer to hold onto their coins rather than sell them for a profit.
In addition, the Mean Dollar Invested Age (MDIA) dropped to 348, a record low. The average age of all coins, determined by the purchase price, is known as the MDIA.
It would have suggested that Litecoin is nearing a local peak if the average age of assets had grown. However, the fact that it dropped suggested a bull run might be approaching.
There is no assurance that LTC will reach the $400 range despite the anticipated bull run. However, seeing the exchange of the coin between $180 and $250 cannot be ignored.
