The pair’s drops this time-around could also partially be attributed to the USD strength across major counterparts. However, Litecoin’s price has also weakened against other currencies including EUR and Bitcoin.
Versus BTC, LTC has broken below the key support level of 0.0099, indicating further potential drops towards the 61% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.0070. This comes after a growing number of miners moving away from Bitcoin Cash and instead, mining Litecoin beginning of October. However, the explosion of Bitcoin above and beyond $6,000 might have made them change their minds.
