The past few days have been filled with ups and downs for most major cryptocurrencies. Although some altcoins would prefer not to be correlated with Bitcoin, they can’t escape this inevitable fate these days. Slowly but surely, things are heading back in the right direction regardless. This is especially true where the Litecoin price is concerned, as surpassing US$60 again is only a matter of time right now.

Litecoin Price Gets Back on Track

Given some of the losses sustained by Litecoin and other altcoins these past few days, it is good to see some positive momentum once again. At the same time, there are a few good reasons

To put this into perspective, the Litecoin price went from US$51.50 all the way to US$70 a few days ago. Such significant growth was partially due to the Bitcoin price having recovered, but was also due to work put in by the Litecoin developers. Unfortunately, sustaining this positive momentum has not been easy, as the LTC price soon dipped below US$55 again. Speculators will certainly have made good money from these price swings, which is only to be expected at this point in time.

With all of that behind us, it is time to look toward the future Litecoin price. Right now, we see LTC valued at just under US$60, which shows there is some positive momentum in place as we speak. This 6.86% increase in value over the past day is pretty spectacular for multiple reasons, as most other altcoins didn’t even come close to that number. Additionally, Litecoin also gained in value compared to Bitcoin, seeing 1.03% growth.

So far, things are looking quite promising for the Litecoin price. With almost US$245 million in 24-hour trading volume, this momentum may very well carry the Litecoin price to US$65 before the day is over. Cryptocurrency markets are still extremely volatile right now, though, and a trend reversal is not out of the question either. Only time will tell which scenario will play out, but for now, it’s all about cautious optimism.

Interestingly, OKCoin is also making a strong comeback in the Litecoin trading department. With US$11.3 million in 24-hour volume, the Chinese platform is again the fourth-largest exchange. The company is still well behind Bithumb, GDAX, and Bitfinex, though. Overtaking any of these three companies will be a big challenge, to say the very least. Still, it is good to see more exchanges hit eight-digit volumes when it comes to Litecoin these days.

For the time being, no one can predict what the Litecoin price will be in a few days or even hours from now. Positive momentum is in full effect, but it is still too early to draw any real conclusions. People well-versed in technical analysis will be able to provide a much better answer to this question right now. For now, it is important to remember Litecoin has a bright future ahead, regardless of what the price is by the time you read this article.
