This would further improve the accessibility and availability of the network as it added much value to the Litecoin ecosystem. Though everything looked positive for LTC, the coin’s on-chain metrics suggested otherwise.
For instance, LTC’s volume marked a considerable decline over the last few days. LTC’s development activity also followed a similar route and declined, which by and large was a negative signal of a blockchain. However, despite going down over the last week, LTC’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio registered an uptrend.

Not only this but LTC’s daily active addresses also registered an uptick lately, which was a positive signal for the blockhain.

Bears at play
A look at LTC’s daily chart of 16 October revealed a bearish picture as most of the market indicators suggested a price fall in the coming days. Exemplar, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) registered a slight uptick but was resting way below the neutral position.
LTC’s Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon revealed a bearish advantage in the market as the 20-day EMA was resting way below the 55-day EMA. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also registered a bearish crossover, which further decreased the chances of a price surge.
