- LTC/USD Trading Pair Under Pressure, Might Post New Monthly Lows
Litecoin is reportedly under pressure to post gains. But this is far from possible as the asset is may incur more losses this month and the next. Litecoin investors were caught by a surprise flash drop following the last Litecoin price prediction. The coin didn’t meet expectations and dropped further under the $60 price position on Monday. This can be compared to a similar situation from last year when the price of Litecoin dropped to as low as $21 during the extended bear season. However, the current market data plays out, the Litecoin price prediction shows that the coin may not decline below $54. Investors can be happy that we won’t see a repeat of last year.
