Litecoin's fourth halving is set to occur on August 3rd, reducing block rewards from 12.5 LTC to 6.25 LTC. Despite some optimistic market indicators, the broader crypto market seems to have a negative outlook on the event. Litecoin's mining industry has been declining, with a drop in hashrate and miners' fees, as well as a decrease in social volume and investor interest. However, there is a possibility of a bullish falling wedge forming in LTC's price chart, which could lead to a bull rally if the bulls can beat the bears.

Binance Pool's hash rate dedicated to mining Litecoin has dropped by over 50% in the past seven months, with the platform currently allocating around 28 TH/s to the network. As a result, Binance Pool has lost its position as one of the dominant Litecoin mining pools, currently ranking 7th with a 3.6% share of the total hash rate. The cause of the drop in hash rate is unclear, but Binance is currently facing legal challenges in multiple countries, including the US. Despite the drop in rankings and hash rate, Binance Pool still plays a critical role in proof-of-work mining networks, including Bitcoin.

The price of Litecoin (LTC) has fallen by 18% from its recent high of $115 on July 3, with long-term investors beginning to sell due to fears of the upcoming halving event.

  The upcoming Litecoin (LTC) halving event on August 2 has generated significant hype in the community and is expected to lead the market rally in the coming week. Many industry stakeholders have been accumulating Litecoin in anticipation of the event, with whales buying over 590,000 LTC in the last 48 hours. The halving will impact Litecoin's scarcity and could potentially drive its price to new highs. Its success could also provide insights into Bitcoin's future performance, as Bitcoin's halving event is scheduled for next year.  

As Litecoin's halving approaches, traders are questioning whether it will be enough to sustain the price above $90. The price has declined by 19% in the last 18 days, but it has shown a positive 31% performance this year. However, there is an alarming statistic coming from the derivatives market that indicates a sharp correction is likely underway. Historical data shows that each of the previous three instances where Litecoin futures open interest dropped below $500 million caused price drops of 38% or higher, which potentially matches the current scenario. Investors should keep an eye on Litecoin's open interest, as history suggests a potential 30% drawdown if it declines from the current $500 million level.

As the upcoming halving event approaches, Litecoin whales have been accumulating the cryptocurrency, with top market whales purchasing over 590K LTC in 48 hours, worth $59 million.
