Litecoin during the last cycle was as popular and hyped as other top cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum. This time around, however, the coin called digital silver isn’t performing anywhere nearly as well as its digital gold counterpart or even other altcoins.

Whatever has been causing the lag behind the rest of the market, there are several signs that the altcoin has bottomed and is the next cryptocurrency in line to set a new all-time high.

Five Technical Signs That Point To A Bullish Litecoin Revival

This bull market has been dominated primarily by Bitcoin, Ethereum, and innovative new blockchain-based technologies like DeFi and NFTs.

Among the year’s top performers, nowhere to be found on that list would be Litecoin – an altcoin that during the last bull market rose as furiously as Bitcoin, and peaked weeks ahead of Ethereum.

During this cycle, Litecoin is lagging well behind these other top ten assets with serious longevity. Although Litecoin has maintained its position within the top ten, it is finally at risk of falling out of it and is currently ranked in ninth place overall.

On monthly timeframes, the altcoin has been trading against Bitcoin in a falling wedge pattern, and after four years of a bear market, finally touched down on RSI support.

Zoomed in further to weekly timeframes, a bullish divergence on the Relative Strength Index has been building since around mid-2020.

If the bullish divergence fails, Litecoin will set new lows against Bitcoin. If confirmed, the reversal should begin well into 2021 before the total cryptocurrency market tops out once again.
