IntoTheBlock indicated that 78% of Litecoin addresses have held their LTC for over a year, typically accumulating during bear markets and selling near peak prices.

"In this cycle, the slight decrease in long-term holdings is less marked than in past cycles," IntoTheBlock wrote, stating that this might indicate that "many holders are expecting further price growth."

On Thursday, investors weighed the most recent weekly unemployment claims, as well as the final third-quarter GDP growth figures in the United States. In the week ending Dec. 14, jobless claims fell to 220,000, lower than the 230,000 predicted by Dow Jones economists.
The Fed slashed interest rates by a quarter percentage point on Wednesday, to a range of 4.25% to 4.50%, in what was largely expected to be the third consecutive cut, although Chair Jerome Powell struck a hawkish tone on the outlook for next year during his press conference.
