Digital silver’s golden run has hit a major bump thanks to digital gold. Litecoin, the seventh-largest cryptocurrency in the market with a market capitalization of $3.8 billion saw its price shoot up over the past week, as Bitcoin surged over $10,000 and above. However, with the recent backtrack in the latter’s price, losing 7 percent in an hour, Litecoin’s price has also hit a snag. For most altcoins now, a drop is inevitable, how they survive it is a matter of not only how closely their price is tied to Bitcoin, but also if they have enough momentum going to prevent a dump. In the short-term, Litecoin saw a massive dump between 0400 to 0500 UTC, falling from $65.09 to $58.96, with the shadow of the 4-hour candlestick slumping as low as $52.44. Given the severity of the drop and the uptick in volume, Litecoin will struggle for the next week or so to recoup the gains, if there’s no trend reversal coming from the Bitcoin market.
