The cryptocurrency market is currently encountering a mellow price pace, with the majority of the tokens taking their sweet time to establish an upward trajectory. At the same time, coins like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) are also seen to have stuck in a slow-moving loop, a pattern that does not allow them to break out easily.

The week that started on Monday, March 24, has been bloody in the equity markets and, by Friday, March 28, ensured that cryptocurrencies have also joined the plunge with a $100 billion 24-hour valuation drop.

Specifically, CRO soared 37.31% in the last week of trading and is changing hands at $0.10681.

A widely followed analyst believes that one large-cap altcoin now has a compelling narrative that will fuel its surge to a fresh record high. Pseudonymous analyst Kaleo tells his 685,600 followers on the social media platform X that Litecoin (LTC) appears to be mimicking its 2021 bull market pattern when it shattered a diagonal resistance before surging to a cycle high. According to Kaleo, LTC is repeating a similar price action but he thinks Litecoin will ascend to new all-time highs and breach the $1,000 price area, fueled by the LTC exchange-traded fund (ETF) narrative. “LTC/Litecoin I’ve been waiting for this HTF (high time frame) setup to look like this since the last halving in August of ’23. It’s so insanely clean and simple, and with Bloomberg moving it to the highest % chance for an ETF approval this year, it finally has a narrative to happen.
