Litecoin price dropped almost 2% on Monday, falling to $55.39 as a zero-day network exploit from the weekend continued to cast a shadow over market sentiment. The attack, which forced a 13-block reorg on April 25, has been fully resolved, but the timing landed at the worst possible moment for a coin already fighting a deteriorating macro setup. Trading volume climbed 35.77% in 24 hours to $247.7 million, but price didn’t follow.
Litecoin Network Hit by Zero-Day Bug on April 25
The April 25 incident caught major mining pools off guard. A zero-day bug allowed invalid MWEB transactions, enabling attackers to double-spend across cross-chain DEX platforms.
Developers executed a 13-block rollback to clear the main chain of invalid transactions; all legitimate activity during that window was preserved, and the bug is now patched. But confidence in Litecoin coin takes longer to restore than a software update, and the 24-hour price action made that visible.
The broader backdrop isn’t helping either. Litecoin crypto is getting squeezed by a market-wide retreat from altcoins. The CoinMarketCap Altcoin Season Index fell 4.88% to 39 on Monday, firmly in Bitcoin dominance territory.
Bitcoin’s market share ticked higher. The Fear and Greed Index sits at 44, down from 55 last week, signaling a shift toward defensive positioning.
Litecoin Price Prediction: Key Levels to Watch Now
The daily Supertrend (10, 3) has printed above price without interruption since November 2025, currently holding at $58.36. A confirmed close above that level is the only signal that changes the indicator from red to green, and that hasn’t happened.
Since the $140 high in early 2025, the daily structure has been a clean run of lower highs and lower lows. Price is now compressed in a $50–$60 range, sitting directly on a macro horizontal support shelf around $55.
The Average Daily Range has collapsed to 1.43, the lowest reading across the entire 16-month chart. ADR peaked above 14 in early 2025 and spiked near $12 in October before bleeding lower without recovery. Participation is thin, and conviction on both sides is absent. Compressions this deep have historically resolved in sharp directional moves. The only question traders are working through right now is which way it will go.
On the weekly timeframe, analyst Alex Clay published a channel structure showing Litecoin price sitting at a multi-year channel bottom, the same demand zone that held in 2022 and again in 2023, and is projecting a recovery toward $100.
That said, channel bottoms still require confirmation through sustained demand and higher timeframe acceptance before any Litecoin price prediction targeting triple digits can be treated as more than a thesis. The daily Supertrend remains red. Until the price closes above $58.36 and the ADR expands, the weight of the evidence still points down.
