Crypto Market Adds $8 Billion But Litecoin Is Struggling To Gain Momentum

According to the latest price movements on the crypto market that we take a closer look into today’s altcoin news, the investors could see a green wave around the market. The crypto market increased along with Bitcoin increasing by 4.75% reaching the $3,800 price point.

Despite the fact that almost all cryptocurrencies showed massive gains, Litecoin seems to be struggling to gain momentum despite the fact that is up by 7.23% over the past 24 hours. The altcoin is up only by 3% for the week.

Most of the analysts think that Litecoin is struggling because the cryptocurrency did a great job outperforming its competitors last week after it traded between $40-$50. Currently, Litecoin is trading at $48 and if this trend continues, the altcoin is expected to reach $50 and remain on that position for quite a while. It seems weird that despite the partnership with Beam as previously reported, the price isn’t maintaining momentum. Also, as previously reported, the hash rate of Litecoin increased and last time Litecoin’s hash rate was close to this new high was in April 2018 when Litecoin’s price increased up to $120. The value of this altcoin dropped quite a lot which caused miners to drop out of the mining activities and start opting for more profitable coins.

Litecoin lost its position as the fourth largest cryptocurrency after it was surpassed by EOS. EOS increased massively, by more than 13.80% and is the best gainer among the top ten cryptocurrencies. The entire crypto market is up by 6.2% and according to analysts, the market is expected to increase up by 10%.
