Litecoin (LTC) may have struggled in the short term, but zooming out tells a far more interesting story.

Over the past 60 days, $LTC has slipped roughly 21%, reflecting broader market hesitation and declining momentum. However, beneath this pullback, Litecoin’s higher-timeframe structure is beginning to resemble Monero’s (XMR) long-term bullish setup—a fractal that has caught the attention of several analysts.

The comparison suggests that Litecoin could be quietly positioning itself for a larger move, similar to what Monero has already started to deliver.

Litecoin and Monero: A Fractal Years in the Making

According to a weekly chart shared by crypto analyst CryptoBullet, Litecoin’s structure closely mirrors Monero’s historical price behavior across multiple market cycles.

Both assets:

  • Peaked during the same periods in 2017 and again in 2021

  • Printed slightly higher highs during the 2021 cycle

  • Formed macro higher lows following the 2022 bear market bottom

This is a critical observation. Since the 2022 lows, Litecoin has displayed relative strength, maintaining a structure that aligns almost step-by-step with XMR’s longer-term bullish path. Monero has already begun breaking higher from this formation, which raises the question: Is Litecoin simply lagging behind?

Fractal patterns like these don’t guarantee identical outcomes, but they often highlight market psychology, especially when two assets have matured through multiple cycles.

Monthly Chart Signals: Long-Term Support in Focus

On the monthly timeframe, analyst @_CryptoSurf highlights another important similarity.

Litecoin is currently testing its long-term rising support trendline near the $75 region, the same structural zone that historically marked accumulation phases during prior cycles. This mirrors Monero’s own behavior before its recent upside expansion.

As long as this trendline holds, Litecoin’s broader structure remains intact. Prolonged consolidation at macro support often precedes volatility expansion, particularly when supply pressure dries up after extended drawdowns.

What Could Come Next for Litecoin (LTC)?

If the fractal comparison continues to play out, Litecoin may be approaching the later stages of its base formation.

Monero’s breakout followed:

  • Years of compression

  • A confirmed macro higher low

  • A clean push above long-standing resistance of $375.

For Litecoin, a similar roadmap would imply that the current consolidation phase could be a prelude to an upside rally, rather than a sign of weakness. The upper long-term trendline—currently far above price—stands out as the next major technical magnet if bullish momentum returns.

That said, structural support around $75 remains critical. Losing this level would weaken the fractal comparison and delay any bullish scenario.

Bottom Line

Despite recent downside pressure, Litecoin’s higher-timeframe structure suggests the correction may be part of a broader accumulation phase. The strong fractal similarity with Monero’s bullish path indicates that LTC could be lagging rather than weakening. As long as the $75 macro support holds, Litecoin may be positioning itself for a potential breakout in the coming cycle.
