Litecoin (LTC) is a cryptocurrency built from Bitcoin’s fork and launched in 2011. Charlie Lee created the asset to be a rival to Bitcoin.
The project was designed to run a mining algorithm of Scrypt proof-of-work consensus. It is a cost-effective and secure means of digital payment.
Litecoin protocols confirm transactions faster than Bitcoin. It takes an average of 2.5 minutes to confirm a transaction, whereas Bitcoin takes about 10 minutes to confirm a transaction.
It has a halving duration of 4-year intervals and a maximum supply of 84 million LTC units.
Litecoin’s (LTC) Market Performance
The coin’s market value today, July 19, 2023, shows an increase of 1% at 8:46 EST. But the coin’s trading volume is down by 12% at $708 million in the past 24 hours.
On CoinGecko, the asset is ranking No. 13, and in the past 7 days, LTC’s price has declined 4% with a price of $103.51. But it has gained 20% in the past month and has also appreciated about 62% over the past year.
The coin’s price of $92.74 at 8:46 EST indicates that it is down by 77% from its all-time high of $410.26.
Technical Overview Shows Possible Rally in the LTC’s Market
The technical chart above shows that the bulls may force the asset’s price to rally today, recovering losses witnessed in the past 5 days. LTC is trading slightly above the 50-Day and 200-Day Simple Moving Average (SMA). This indicates that the coin is in a bullish trend.
Again, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) trades below the signal line with a faded red histogram bar. This shows that the coin is bearish but has lost the selling pressure following the actions of the bulls to make the LTC rally, as seen in the chart.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is at 47.89 in the neutral zone, slightly moving upwards to the overbought zone (70). This consolidates the signal from the MACD indicator that the bears have lost their grip on the market, and the bull is likely to take over.
Support and Resistance Levels for LTC
Based on the market condition of the asset in the chart above, LTC’s market may be controlled by the bulls from today. If the bulls take control of the coin’s market, the asset may gain in market value and could hit the $98.05 resistance.
If the bulls continue with the buying pressure, more investors may be attracted to invest in the asset. This might make LTC attain the $101.99 resistance in the future.
Nevertheless, if the bears snatch the coin’s market as the bulls are just building buying momentum. The bears will likely drag LTC’s price to the $89.43 support.
If the bulls remain neutral, the bears may increase selling pressure making the asset’s value cross the above support. This could arouse negative sentiment in the coin’s market, which might make the price drop further and may reach the $86.59 support.
Note the crypto asset market is highly volatile. There is a likelihood that the future behavior of the market might deviate from the analysis done above. That’s why it is necessary to have risk management techniques in place and to carry out an in-depth analysis before investment.

Some Factors That May Affect the Market Behavior of Litecoin (LTC)
On July 18, 2023, Litecoin announced via its Twitter page the release of Litecoin MimbleWimble (MWEB) update V24 from David Burkett.
The MWEB is the Litecoin network privacy upgrade tension block. This protects the privacy of blockchain users as it hides their locations and the number of assets transferred after transactions.
Some of the tasks done in the updated MWEB are pre-MWEB Litecoin integration into the v24 codebase of Bitcoin and the merge of the former released MWEB code.
Furthermore, data from TradingView shows that Litecoin has broken a historical record in Litecoin the next Litecoin halving is making waves.
The record has it that the Litecoin network has processed more than a million transactions within 7 days and had completed 170 million transactions as of July 15, 2023.
Again, a piece of information from TradingView shows that Whales have acquired more than 590 thousand units of LTC, equivalent to $59 million, in the past 48 hours.
This could be because of the next halving event that will occur soon within the Litecoin network. These factors may influence the market behavior of the asset when investors start reacting to them.
