Despite growing in the NFT space, things did not look so good on LTC’s daily chart. This was because LTC, after witnessing a long price surge, dropped by more than 2% in the last seven days. Furthermore, at press time, LTC was trading at $55.05 with a market capitalization of over $3.94 billion.

Investors might have to cross their fingers and hope for the best as several of LTC’s on-chain metrics revealed the possibility of a price downfall.

Caution is recommended 

Litecoin’s velocity, after registering a spike, decreased considerably on 31 October. This was a bearish signal as it indicated that the coin was used in transactions less often within a set time frame. Furthermore, LTC’s daily active addresses also went down in October, which suggested a lower number of users active on the network.

Nonetheless, a few things were working in LTC’s favor. For instance, LTC’s development activity increased. This was a positive sign for a blockchain. Moreover, LTC continued to gain interest from the derivatives market as its Binance funding rate was consistently high.

The bears are back in action 

A look at LTC’s daily chart suggested that buyers witnessed an edge in the market for a week. However, sellers had buckled up as several market indicators revealed the chances of a downtick.

LTC’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) was resting just above the neutral position. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) registered a downtick and went below the neutral mark, which was a bearish signal. Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MAC) displayed the possibility of a bearish crossover soon.

Interestingly, the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) was in a tussle with the 50-day EMA, which gave some hope for a price surge.
