Litecoin Nears $135 Target on 10% Weekly Gains and Rising Volume

Litecoin (LTC) has gained nearly 10% this week, pushing above the $120 level and moving closer to its $135 target. The price increase is supported by a 181% surge in trading volume and growing optimism around its role in cryptocurrency payments. According to CoinGate, Litecoin accounts for 14% of all transactions on the platform, second only to Bitcoin. With fees averaging $0.03 and 2.5-minute confirmations, LTC remains a fast and low-cost option for users. However, the RSI reaching 75 indicates overbought conditions, suggesting potential for a pullback to the $97.99 support level near the 200-day EMA [1].

Toncoin (TON) has also shown strong momentum, with a 17% weekly gain driven by rising spot demand and record futures activity. On July 31, TON reached a single-day inflow of $13.35 million, and futures open interest hit a record $384 million [1]. While the RSI stands at 65.78 and MACD remains positive, the coin faces resistance at $3.61. A successful breakout could push the price toward $3.85 or $4.00, though a drop below $3.34–$3.38 could shift the short-term momentum downward [1].

In contrast, BlockDAG (BDAG) appears to be gaining more long-term traction. The project has raised over $368 million through its presale and has launched Dashboard V4, offering real-time price tracking, strategy testing, and market insights. BDAG is currently priced at $0.0016, with analysts forecasting a potential 17x increase to $0.0276 as the presale closes on August 11 [1]. The project also announced confirmed listings on MEXC, LBank, CoinStore, XT.com, and BitMart, with a projected launch price of $0.05, offering early buyers potential gains above 3,000% [1].

BlockDAG’s ecosystem expansion includes partnerships with the Seattle Orcas in cricket and the Seattle Seawolves in rugby, creating tokenized content and fan engagement opportunities. The ongoing 10 BTC giveaway and a 100 million BDAG airdrop are further incentivizing new users and expanding the community. With over 2.5 million global users on the X1 mining app, BDAG demonstrates strong grassroots adoption [1].

While Litecoin and Toncoin continue to attract attention due to their price targets and speculative momentum, BlockDAG distinguishes itself through tangible development, real-world partnerships, and a robust presale performance. Litecoin’s rise is closely tied to ETF speculation, and Toncoin’s gains depend on breakout levels and ongoing trading demand. In contrast, BlockDAG has moved beyond market sentiment, delivering concrete progress in product development and user engagement [1].

For investors seeking the best altcoin to buy now, the evidence suggests that BlockDAG’s combination of technical advancements, market readiness, and strong community adoption positions it as a compelling long-term opportunity. As the presale nears its August 11 closing date, the window for entry is narrowing, making it a key moment for potential buyers to consider [1].
