<a href="https://ambcrypto.com/search/litecoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">Litecoin’s [LTC]</a> price is resting at a key level that could cause a price rally as 2024 starts. Therefore, AMBCrypto examined LTC’s on-chain data to better understand whether investors should expect a bull run.
<h4>Is Litecoin expecting a bull rally?</h4>
According to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/litecoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">CoinMarketCap</a>, Litecoin’s price action took a somewhat sideways path, as its price moved marginally in the last 24 hours. 
At the time of writing, LTC was trading at $72.52 with a market capitalization of over $5.3 billion, making it the 18th largest crypto. However, if the latest dataset is to be considered, the trend might change as it suggests a price uptick. 
As per the tweet, January seemed like a great time for Litecoin to start moving towards its network value model. The coin’s price was at a point where, historically, LTC had begun promising bull rallies.

To better understand the viability of Litecoin going above, AMBCrypto checked LTC’s on-chain data. Our analysis revealed that bearish sentiment around Litecoin increased over the recent past, as evidenced by the drop in its Weighted Sentiment. 
Its Social Volume also dropped, reflecting a decline in the coin’s popularity.

While social sentiments remained low, Litecoin’s MVRV ratio declined, which could be interpreted as a bearish signal. Nonetheless, LTC’s transaction count remained high. 
The same was true for the coin’s velocity, meaning that LTC was used in transactions more often within a set time frame.

However, even if Litecoin manages to kick-start a bull rally, it has to overcome a barrier to maintain its gains. AMBCrypto’s look at Hyblock Capital’s data pointed out that Litecoin witnessed massive liquidation near the $77.8 mark.
