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.
