A side-by-side comparison reveals the pattern: repeated runs into a formidable resistance level, sellers consistently pushing prices back down, and finally, a decisive push that breaks through. For Ethereum, that resistance stood at around $4,050. Once it gave way, the surge to $4,700 happened rapidly. For Litecoin, often referred to as 'digital silver,' the equivalent level is $140, which has acted as a formidable barrier since late last year.Ethereum's recent surge marks the first time since 2021 that it has breached this crucial level. Similarly, Litecoin is showing signs of a potential breakout after a long period of resistance. Currently, Litecoin is trading around $129, not a dramatic breakout, but a significant improvement from the sub-$90 lows seen in July. The repeated rejections at $140 over the past year inflicted heavy losses on buyers each time. However, the latest dips have been shallower, and buyers have returned with greater conviction. Many analysts believe this kind of shift often occurs just before a price level finally breaks.Adding to the upward momentum for Litecoin is a significant development outside of the price chart. This week, MEI, a biotechnology company, announced the addition of Litecoin to its institutional treasury plan, part of a $100 million investment portfolio. Remarkably, the company has enlisted Charlie Lee, the creator of Litecoin and a prominent figure in the crypto world, along with GSR, a major trading firm, for guidance. This unusual mix of involvement in a corporate balance sheet has the potential to attract attention from other institutional investors.Meanwhile, if Bitcoin continues its climb towards $5,200, there's a good chance it will trigger a full-fledged altcoin season, and some of that enthusiasm will undoubtedly spill over into Litecoin. At the $140 level, things will either stall or propel into a fast-paced rally, and the current setup looks remarkably similar to Ethereum's pre-breakout pattern
