Litecoin’s [LTC] price action is back in the spotlight after weeks of subdued trading. The altcoin broke above a stubborn flag pattern near $112, a level that had capped the price since early August.

Litecoin’s Open Interest surges by $100M!
Positive developments on the derivatives markets are also adding another layer of fuel to the bullish bias. Litecoin Futures Open interest has jumped to $703 million, at press time, up by about $100 million in the past 24 hours alone, according to the recent Messari data.
The increase points to fresh positions being built, often a sign that traders and investors alike expect continued movement, though it also means the market is carrying more leverage, which can amplify both gains and losses.

As things stand, the bullish trend appears likely to continue. The daily chart looks promising, with strong on-chain metrics reinforcing the positive outlook and supporting further upside.
