Since its launch on the Ethereum mainnet in June 2023, EigenLayer’s total value locked (TVL) skyrocketed to over $6 billion in just eight months. This growth underscores the increasing interest in protocols like EigenLayer that aim to secure third-party networks using staked digital assets.

While the bullish trend is evident, traders should watch for signs of consolidation or pullbacks, considering the balance between potential gains and short-term risks. Note that over-extended momentum indicators suggest potential buyer exhaustion, cautioning against relentless buying.

LTC Technical Analysis:

Litecoin demonstrates a positive trend, highlighted by a significant 40% rally after a bullish breakout from a symmetrical triangle, pushing the price to $95. However, this rapid ascent led to an overbought condition, prompting a slight pullback.
