Litecoin (LTC) Closes Last Hour Down $-0.41; 2 Day Down Streak Snapped

The Hourly View for LTC

Last Updated July 10, 2021, 02:046 GMT

At the time of this writing, LTC’s price is down $-0.41 (-0.31%) from the hour prior. This is the 2nd hour in a row LTC has seen its price head down. If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 20 hour timeframe. The moving averages on the hourly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.

  • From DaddyCool1991:

    What do I mean in the first tweet?An improved #Litecoin via version 0.18.1 + less $ moving in the avg trx = less total overall trx fees per day#LTC trxs per day are up, total value moved per day is up, yet costs are drastically lowerAll this while fees for other coins go up

  • From RelevantElon:

    Ok here’s what we’ll do. All Doge transactions on the first layer. Keep securing that layer with about $42 worth of Litecoin miners. The CIA and I will run the only nodes because all transactions will be on the base layer and you can’t afford that hardware. Any other requests?
