Is Litecoin at the Bottom of the Market?
Although investor expectations were high, LTC’s performance did not match them. According to CoinMarketCapthe LTC has fallen by more than 5% in the past seven days. At the time of writing, it was trading at $59.68 with a market cap of over $4.3 billion. However, there was a possibility that LTC would hit the bottom of the market.
This seemed likely when you looked at it LTC‘s MVRV Z-score. The metric evaluates whether Litecoin is overvalued or undervalued relative to its ‘fair value’. A significantly lower market value than the realized value often indicates a market bottom. As shown in the chart, LTC’s MVRV Z-score was below the green zone, which could indicate a market bottom.
