Litecoin Market Cap

The past week, Litecoin had a roller-coaster ride. With an upward boost in the start of the week, the coin reached its weekly peak at $66.7. But soon the resistance at $65 to $67 level forced the coin to take a nosedive, and within hours, LTC/USD pair dropped to $56. But the coin soon found support at the level which also acted as a pivot.

After reaching the $63 mark, the pair had another downturn. But the support levels between $56.5 to $57.5 helped the coin not to fall further. Since the last four days, a strong bullish trend can be seen. This upward move has the strong support of a trend line, and the coin regained its value at $63.
