Here’s the full state of Litecoin’s [LTC] market since the MW upgrade
The project behind the infamous MimbleWimble upgrade, Litecoin [LTC] recently saw its hashrate hit a new all-time high (ATH). According to data from OKLink, the hashrate ATH of 511.56 TH/s was logged on 22 September.
Trading at a price level that was 87% from its ATH, LTC’s press time price was representative of a decline seen since the summer. On a year-to-date basis, the price of LTC has dropped by 64% since the beginning of the year.
The last 24 days have been marked by a tussle between the bears and the bulls, leading LTC’s price to touch a few highs and lows on the charts. At the time of writing, the altcoin was trading at $54.21.
Following the 9% decline that forced LTC to close August at $54.38, September started on a positive note as the alt’s price quickly rallied by 12% in the first six days. By 6 September, LTC was at a local high of $61.93.
This uptrend, however, could not linger as sell-offs and profit-taking caused the price to plummet 24 hours later. Attempting a comeback, the six days that followed were marked by a significant bull run. By 13 September, LTC had regained the $66-price level.
Re-emerging to force a downtrend, the bears took over and forced the price to return to its 1 September-level. The downtrend formed a falling wedge on the daily chart, one which the #23 largest cryptocurrency broke out of in an upward direction.
With key indicators positioned below their respective neutral zones, selling pressure for LTC remained high at press time.
