Optimistic Scenario:
- If LTC follows the 2019 post-halving pattern (up 500% in 1 year), the price could break 250–400.
- Support factors: Mass adoption, DeFi integration, and ecosystem growth.
Neutral Scenario:
- Range 150–200 with stable growth without geopolitical disturbances.
Pessimistic Scenario:
- Drop to 50–80 in the event of a global recession or repressive regulation.
Long Term (2030)
- Conservative Forecast: 300–500 (assuming crypto market growth of 10-15% per year).
- Optimistic Prediction: 800–1,000+ if LTC becomes a global payment standard or is adopted by major financial institutions.
Main Risks
1. Extreme Volatility: LTC price can drop 20-30% in a day due to market sentiment or negative news.
2. Competition with Other Altcoins: Ethereum, Solana, or Ripple (XRP) may “steal” investors’ attention.
3. Dependence on Bitcoin: A sharp correction in BTC will have a huge impact on LTC.
