$100?<\/p>\n<h2>Litecoin to mirror top coins?<\/h2>\n<p>Downside action across the crypto market followed a fresh dump for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin hovered near the $90,000 level in the early US trading session on Monday, having pared gains from above $92,000.<\/p>\n<p>However, the token traded at around $92,135 at the time of writing, while Ethereum lingered close to $3,134.<\/p>\n<p>Both Bitcoin and Ethereum were showing resilience as markets weathered bearish pressure.<\/p>\n<p>While the two remain near respective psychological thresholds, reclaiming upside momentum may be key to Litecoin gains.<\/p>\n<p>LTC traded at around $77 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>But as the chart below shows, the path lower appears stronger for the altcoin.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_357555\"

markets reacted to news that the Department of Justice (DOJ) had launched a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.<\/p>\n<p>Top altcoins like XRP and BNB saw declines, and Litecoin traded to lows of $75, last seen in late December.<\/p>\n<p>The slide in the leading cryptocurrencies stemmed from risk-off sentiment triggered by the news of a DOJ probe against Fed chair Jerome Powell.<\/p>\n<p>Powell released a statement on Sunday,\u00a0 revealing subpoenas from the Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>Although the news saw Bitcoin flip to above $92k, declines followed as Wall Street futures dipped.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The DOJ\u2019s subpoenas and criminal probe against Powell have intensified fears of political interference in US monetary policy.<\/p>\n<p>Powell emphasised that the investigation appeared motivated by the Fed\u2019s resistance to demands for aggressive interest rate cuts, rather than solely the renovation-related testimony.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhile the Fed needs reform, including maintaining the crucial issue of central bank independence while strengthening accountability, a mishandled process risks derailing appointments and undermining further policy effectiveness,\u201d Mohamed El-Erian said on X.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This uncertainty has US stocks pulling back from recent record highs.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average sank 0.8%, while the S&amp;P 500 shed 0.3%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was down around 0.2%.<\/p>\n<p>The pullback reflects broader risk aversion, with investors rotating toward perceived safe havens like gold. Gold prices indeed extended gains on Jan 12. amid the turmoil.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Markets,Litecoin News#Litecoin #price #outlook #BTC #reclaims #92k1768241806<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Litecoin traded to lows of $75 as top altcoins slipped in early US trading.
