  • The Litecoin price fell 7.74% during the past 24 hours, and its trading volume increased by 170% to $2.39 billion.

The on-chain activity of Litecoin demonstrated its continued usefulness and relevance in the cryptocurrency market. 72% of Litecoin holders were profitable at the time of writing, demonstrating a high holder profit ratio that may be a sign of confidence.

Litecoin (LTC) price dropped by 25% yesterday (Dec 09) and slipped below the 20-day EMA. The bullish trend in Litecoin price was stripped near the $140 mark. A battle between bulls and bears was seen for a week. Sellers won that battle and dragged down the price by 25% in a day.

After this massive dip, buyers have shown interest, and the LTC price has bounced back to the 20-day EMA. It could be a crucial phase for investors and traders because a trend could be determined.

When writing, the Litecoin price was trading at $113.86 with an intraday loss of 7.74%. Its market capitalization was $8.57 billion, and it ranked 23rd in the cryptocurrency market.

Based on the technical chart, the LTC coin price has displayed a short-term dip. The price has been wandering around the 20-day EMA, and a bounce back can be possible.

If the price bounces back and surpasses the 20-day EMA, strong buying momentum can be observed. Once the price sustains over the 20-day EMA, buyers might show interest and eye for the $180 territory.

Alternatively, if the LTC price remains below the 20-day EMA, sellers may dominate. Suppose sellers become stronger, the price may melt to the 200-day EMA. Once the price loses the 200-day EMA, it might be difficult for buyers to bounce back.

The RSI has triggered a death crossover with the RSI-based moving average. MACD has displayed a bearish crossover with the Signal line and the histograms have flipped to red.

It was a crucial element that frequently drew in users who demanded reliable and quick transactions, whether they were individuals or businesses.

7.94 million addresses with balance are supported by the network, demonstrating a large and devoted user base. There is a strong community belief in Litecoin’s long-term value, as evidenced by the fact that 78% of these holders had held onto their LTC coins for more than a year.

Litecoin Price Analysis Amid This Dip

The Litecoin price has experienced significant volatility, highlighted by a sharp 25% drop. Despite this, there are signs of potential recovery with increased on-chain activity and a significant percentage of profitable holders.

The LTC coin price is currently hovering around the 20-day EMA. It must surpass this level to gain a bullish rebound towards the $180 mark. However, if the price does not trade above the 20-day EMA, it risks further decline, possibly reaching the 200-day EMA.
