I thought I'd add some FA to my TA on LTC/BTC. Many are loudly proclaiming DOOM for LTC today, and while I share the concerns having been around this market so long, I think this is not the end of the LTC.
It used to be accurate that LTC was nothing but a test bed for BTC for the longest time. Prior to LTC activating SegWit, there was no real utility that made it different from or compatible with BTC. With SegWit activated, however, this is no longer the case. If BTC manages to blow the upgrade in some way, LTC benefits imo. But if BTC manages a smooth upgrade, LTC will also take off with it for a couple of reasons.
1) With both BTC and LTC having an active SegWit, atomic swaps will be coming soon. That means seamless transfers from the LTC to BTC chains with no intermediary. Huge advancement that brings major functional utility to the LTC chain. LTC is not just a test bed anymore and will have major uses as a payment chain.
2) I cant tell you how many people I know that, when buying crypto for the first time, they dont buy BTC "because its too expensive." This is a natural human behavior (look at the theory of stock splits) and will probably lead to high fiat inflows directly into LTC. On top of that, the higher percentage gains on the lower market cap asset will be more attractive to speculators, further driving the price up. With more ways than ever to get fiat into LTC, this behavior could have a real effect.
All that being said, I would not buy right now. If your looking to get into LTC, best bet would be to wait for a break above the cup line on the daily. If this C&H is legit and takes off, it will blow past the wicked tops of the multi-year downtrend on the weekly and then who knows how high it could go. If you already have a nice bag of LTC, hodl tight. This could get interesting.
As always, the price could go either way and this is just my humble opinion.
