Litecoin Price Forecast: Can LTC Rally 50% After Donald Trump’s Mining Move?

Litecoin (LTC) price has almost doubled since April, and a mix of technical and fundamental indicators suggests further upside in the coming months. That includes US President Donald Trump’s latest foray into an LTC mining venture.

Late 2020 Fractal Hints At 50% LTC Rally

Litecoin has just staged a breakout above a long-held descending trendline resistance, which closely mirrors its setup in late 2020.

Back then, LTC cleared a similar downtrend barrier in November, which set the stage for a sharp rally toward its first significant resistance near $82. Once that level was broken, Litecoin went parabolic, eventually tagging the $400 zone.

The present structure looks strikingly similar. Having rebounded from its long-term ascending trendline support, LTC has now pierced the descending resistance line again.

If the fractal repeats, the next logical upside target is the first line of resistance near $160, up about 50% from the current price levels.

A successful breakout above $160 could open the path toward the “ultimate upside target” around $375, which aligns with the upper boundary of Litecoin’s multi-year consolidation range.

That would echo the 2020–2021 pattern, where breaking the initial cap unleashed a broader cycle advance.

Trump’s Entry Into Litecoin Mining

A surprising fundamental catalyst reinforces the bullish technical picture: Trump’s entry into crypto mining.

The US President’s venture firm, Thumzup, has agreed to acquire Dogehash Technologies, Inc., a leading Dogecoin mining company. While the deal was pitched around DOGE, Dogehash is also heavily involved in Litecoin mining, thanks to the two networks’ merged-mining compatibility.

The move positions Trump as a notable player in Litecoin’s proof-of-work ecosystem, adding a political dimension to LTC’s market narrative.

Industry observers suggest his involvement could bring increased attention and legitimacy to Litecoin, particularly among US retail investors and political supporters.

The news appears as Litecoin hints at outperforming Bitcoin with a 45% rally. Earlier this month, its blockchain network processed 12% of its lifetime transactions alone in 2025, indicating growing utility for the underlying LTC crypto.
