Litecoin or "digital silver" did not choose its own movement patterns, and followed the market correction. However, the coin is not the biggest loser of the day, as there are other assets whose rates have dropped by more than 5%. In terms of the LTC rank in the global cryptocurrency rating, there is an ongoing “battle” with EOS for 5th place.

On larger time frames, the situation looks more positive; LTC has been in the uptrend since the beginning of February 2019. While the coin is above $80, no technical signs can stop its growth. This is backed by the increasing trading volume since November 2018. Moreover, the RSI indicator is not overbought; currently, it is moving downwards, meaning a great long-term buying opportunity.
