On April 1, 2024 at 2 PM, Litecoin (LTC) saw a significant decrease of 10.9%, dropping to $97.91 in the afternoon. This price drop was also seen in other altcoins, as Bitcoin experienced a 3% drop in its trading session.
As the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, trading volume, and trading volume, Bitcoin often sets the tone for the entire cryptocurrency industry. When Bitcoin’s price drops significantly, it can cause investors to lose confidence in the market and may lead to a selloff in all cryptocurrencies, including Litecoin.
Litecoin is often referred to as the “silver” to Bitcoin’s “gold” due to its similar technical features, but with some differences such as faster block creation times and a new hashing algorithm. However, these differences are important, as Litecoin’s value proposition is closely tied to Bitcoin’s performance. If Bitcoin’s price continues to fall, investors may perceive Litecoin’s value proposition as weaker, leading to a decrease in demand and price for Litecoin.
