Santiment on-chain data aggregator has reported that Litecoin has made great progress regarding the daily amount of transferred LTC as whales seem to have increased their activity.
Daily LTC transaction volume soars
As per a recent Santiment tweet, Litecoin has seen a massive rise in the daily whale transaction volume.
The amount of LTC shoveled by whales has surpassed $100,000—that is 4,458 transactions within one day—April 4, according to the chart shared by the company's analytical team.
The tweet stresses that such an upsurge in daily transaction volume indicates a mid-term direction shift.
? #Litecoin may not be on many traders' radars right now, but it quietly just saw the largest amount of daily $LTC whale transactions exceeding $100k+ (3,458 transactions) in 2022. Typically, this is an indicator of mid-term price direction shifts. ? https://t.co/mhi60PtUhX pic.twitter.com/uvCCTmW1Qy
