## [TL; DR]
The Litecoin community maintains a positive sentiment despite the recent fall in the LTC price.

The LTC RSI and exponential moving average indicate a bearish outlook.

By the end of July the LTC price may reach $83.43.

## Introduction 
The current cryptocurrency trends are showing mixed market signals with most of the leading assets performing poorly while a few meme coins remain bullish. Several pioneering cryptocurrencies like ETH [and Litecoin (LTC) recorded some losses during the past few weeks](https://www.gate.io/post/NewsBTC/status/5189999 "and Litecoin (LTC) recorded some losses during the past few weeks") and they have remained depressed. Today, we analyze Litecoin’s current and forecast price performance.
## A Bearish Market Sentiment Rules the Market after LTC’s 30% Price Fall
A 30% LTC price drop that occurred in early April has unsettled many LTC investors. Sadly, the [LTC altcoin](https://www.gate.io/learn/articles/what-is-litecoin-ltc/147 "LTC altcoin") correction is taking a long time to occur which has forced most investors to change their investment strategies . Already, LTC holders intend to exit their long positions fearing a further LTC price decline since they do not want to allow an increase in unrealized loss.

The LTC market value to realized value (MVRV) ratio, an indicator that shows investor’s profit or loss, indicates that the investors are in a dire situation.  As at 30 May the Litecoin MVRV ratio was 11%, showing that the asset might enter a loss zone if it fails to retrace upwards. In the past, LTC used to reverse when its value was between 11% and 24%, a period popularly referred to as the danger zone. The following graph shows LTC’s 30 day MVRV as of 30 May.

The other factor that indicated the LTC investors’ sentiment was the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading. At that time, the LTC RSI reading was below 50 indicating a bearish momentum.

For context, the RSI indicator has a reading of between 0 and 100. If the reading is between 0 and 30 it shows an oversold market state. On the other hand, if the reading is between 70 and 100 the asset will be in an overbought state. However, if the reading is above 30 but below 70 it is considered a neutral zone. 

On 31 May the LTC RSI reading was below 50, meaning that it was in a neutral state with a bearish cue. The best thing that risk averse investors would do was to sell their LTC holdings to limit the losses they might incur in the future. These bearish market indicators show that the bulls should inject more funds into the LTC market to push its price up.

## Litecoin Trend Analysis: The Key Factors that Might have led to a Bearish Outlook
First, there have been signs that some governments intend to crack down on crypto activities. That has led to a general negative market sentiment that might have forced some <a href="/price/litecoin-ltc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Litecoin</a> holders to sell their holdings. The geo-political tension within the Middle-east could also have caused the LTC price drop.

Another cause of the [recent LTC price](https://www.gate.io/price/litecoin-ltc "recent LTC price") decline could be the rise in competition from other cryptocurrencies, especially meme coins such as BONK, WIF, SHIB and Floki. These crypto assets have been performing remarkably since the beginning of the year. It is important to note that many investors seem to prefer the recently launched <a href="/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Solana</a>-based meme coins.  

However, not all hope is lost as there are positive developments related to Litecoin. For example, TradingView has reported an increase in LTC wallet addresses and transaction volumes. It stated that the LTC’s new active wallet addresses have surpassed those of <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> by over 100,000. This surge in new LTC wallet addresses indicates that in spite of the token price drop some [investors are willing to buy Litecoin](https://www.gate.io/how-to-buy/litecoin-ltc "investors are willing to buy Litecoin"). Also, such a development shows a possible future increase in LTC investment and a positive Litecoin market sentiment.

## Litecoin Price Analysis: Staying Above $80
For the past 30 days Litecoin has failed to surpass $90 which would enable it to flip over the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement LTC level. In fact, it has fallen below the 23.6% Fibonacci line, which is considered the bear market support floor. Thus, a deep below this Fib level signals a rising bearish momentum which may force it to drop below $80. On a brighter note, a rise above the 23.6% Fib line may trigger a strong LTC altcoin recovery which could push its value beyond $90, thereby invalidating the existing bearish outlook.

At the time of writing, LTC is trading at $80.07, after losing by 3.1% within the last 7 days. Based on the <a href="/price/litecoin-ltc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Litecoin price</a> analysis, the coin has lost by 3.7% within the last 30 days and by 10.4% within the last one year. The next graph shows how LTC has performed within the last three months.

## Conclusion
Litecoin had a sharp price drop in April which forced some investors to contemplate selling their LTC holdings.

The increase in network activity in recent days has shown that the LTC price may rise within the next few weeks, if not days.
