On July 6, Lighter's price was recorded at $2.641, reflecting a decrease of 1.49% over the four-hour period. This comes after reaching a high near $2.80, as the integration with Robinhood Chain continues to enhance trading volume.
Key Developments Following Launch
Robinhood Chain officially launched on July 2, providing Lighter as its integrated perpetual futures exchange. A reward pool of $11 million in LIT tokens has been established to incentivize the community.
Substantial buybacks have occurred, amounting to 15.5 million LIT tokens, approximately 6.3% of the circulating supply, with token burns scheduled to commence this month.
Technical Analysis Overview
According to the four-hour chart analysis, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned at 76.93, indicating an overbought scenario. However, bearish divergences have been identified, suggesting potential short-term corrections may occur.
- Current support levels are noted at $2.547, corresponding with the lower VWAP band and the ascending channel’s lower boundary around $2.30.
- Resistance levels are established at $2.719 based on Parabolic SAR, alongside the recent peak close to $2.80.
The price action displays LIT within a stable ascending channel established since mid-May, reflecting a bullish trend structure supported by several exponential moving averages (EMA) situated below the current price.
Market Reactions to Robinhood Integration
The Robinhood Wallet has embraced Lighter, allowing access to perpetual futures with no transaction fees for the initial 90 days. This includes the covering of all gas costs associated with trades executed through Lighter.
While the Robinhood user base primarily consists of retail traders, the potential for engagement with Lighter's offerings could broaden the platform's reach, diversifying its trading demographic.
