Litecoin Price Struggles Despite ETF Optimism as War Tensions Rattle Market
Litecoin LTC fell more than 4.3% over the past week, and is down more than 14% for the last 30-day period, with the latest sell-off coming as part of a wider risk asset sell-off. That sell-off came after Israel attacked Iran in a bid to put an end to its nuclear program and harm its missile capabilities, and Iran later retaliated with a salvo of missiles. The conflict has spooked global markets, reducing the total cryptocurrency market capitalization by more than $150 billion. LTC was severely affected by the sell-off. As the dust settled, Litecoin attempted a fragile rebound, climbing back above $86. But the recovery has stalled under mounting technical resistance. The $97.80 level, coinciding with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement according to to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model, has proven difficult to breach. Momentum indicators like RSI at 43.46 and a flat MACD histogram show limited energy behind the move, suggesting a phase of consolidation. Volume tells a similar story. Litecoin's trading activity dropped 42% following the initial plunge, even as it briefly surged through the $85.90 resistance level during a high-volume spike late Friday. That breakout, however, was quickly met with profit-taking that brought it back down to $85. Looming in the background is hope for a spot litecoin ETF. Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart estimate a 90% chance of approval.

First direct flight from US to Greenland since 2008 lands on Trump's birthday
NUUK, Greenland (AP) — The first direct flight from the U.S. to Greenland by an American airline landed in the capital city of Nuuk on Saturday. The United Airlines-operated Boeing 737 Max 8 departed from Newark International Airport in New Jersey at 11:31 a.m. EDT (1531 GMT) and arrived a little over 4 hours later, at 6:39 p.m. local time (1939 GMT), according to the flight-tracking website FlightAware. A seat cost roughly $1,200. Saturday's flight marks the first direct passage between the U.S. and the Arctic Island for nearly 20 years. In 2007, Air Greenland launched a route between Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and Kangerlussuaq Airport, some 315 kilometers (196 miles) north of Nuuk. It was scrapped the following year due to cost. The United Airlines flight took place on U.S. President Donald Trump's 79th birthday, which was being celebrated in Washington with a controversial military parade that's part of the Army's long-planned 250th anniversary celebration. Trump has repeatedly said he seeks control of Greenland, a strategic Arctic island that's a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, and has not ruled out military force. The governments of Denmark, a NATO ally, and Greenland have said it is not for sale and condemned reports of the U.S. stepping up intelligence gathering on the mineral-rich island. United announced the flight in October, before Trump was re-elected. It was scheduled for 2025 to take advantage of the new Nuuk airport, which opened in late November and features a larger runway for bigger jets. 'United will be the only carrier to connect the U.S. directly to Nuuk — the northernmost capital in the world, providing a gateway to world-class hiking and fascinating wildlife under the summer's midnight sun,' the company said in a statement at the time. Saturday's flight kicked off the airline's twice weekly seasonal service, from June to September, between Newark and Nuuk. The plane has around 165 seats. Previously, travelers had to take a layover in Iceland or Copenhagen, Denmark, before flying to Greenland. The new flight is beneficial for the island's business and residents, according to Greenland government minister Naaja Nathanielsen. Tourists will spend money at local businesses, and Greenlanders themselves will now be able to travel to the U.S. more easily, Nathanielsen, the minister for business, mineral resources, energy, justice and gender equality, told Danish broadcaster DR. The route is also an important part of diversifying the island's economy, she said. Fishing produces about 90% of Greenland's exports. Tourism is increasingly important. More than 96,000 international passengers traveled through the country's airports in 2023, up 28% from 2015. Visit Greenland echoed Nathanielsen's comments. The government's tourism agency did not have projections on how much money the new flights would bring to the island. 'We do know that flights can bring in much more than just dollars, and we expect it to have a positive impact -- both for the society and travellers,' Tanny Por, Visit Greenland's head of international relations, told The Associated Press in an email. __

Gundlach Is Latest to Sound Corporate Debt Alarms: Credit Weekly
DoubleLine Capital has its lowest-ever allocations to speculative-grade bonds now, because valuations just don't reflect the risks. The money manager has been gradually cutting its high-yield bonds and other sub-investment-grade debt over the past two years, Jeffrey Gundlach, chief executive officer, said at the Bloomberg Global Credit Forum in Los Angeles this week. There are myriad risks, including inflation and tariffs, and investors aren't getting paid for them, he said.
