Realistic or not, here’s LTC’s market cap in BTC’s terms


Other metrics also revealed that the blockchain’s performance was something to rejoice over. For instance, daily active addresses also spiked, reflecting increased usage. Besides that, LTCs velocity was up.

An increase in the metric meant that LTC was used in transactions more often within a set time frame. Moreover, daily on-chain transaction volume in profit also increased last week.

Litecoin’s price moved sideways

Though the blockchain’s network activity was on the rise, its price action did not follow the same trend, as it increased marginally last week. According to CoinMarketCap, LTC’s price has risen by over 1% in the last seven days.

At press time, it was trading at $77.43, with a market capitalization of over $5.6 billion.

However, LTC’s whale activity remained high, as per Santiment’s chart. Sentiment around LTC also improved last week, as evident from its weighted sentiment and social volume.

Interestingly, Coinglass’ data revealed that LTC’s sideways trajectory might soon change. Litecoin’s Open Interest has registered a decline since the beginning of June.

A decline in that metric usually means that the ongoing price trend may end soon. Therefore, the possibility of LTC registering gains seemed likely.

Its Money Flow Index (MFI) also followed the same trend, increasing the chances of a northbound price movement in the coming days.
