Litecoin Price Prediction as LTC Consolidates at $80 Level – $1,000 LTC Possible?
As the Litecoin (LTC) price consolidates at the $80 level, some are asking whether 10x gains, or even a rally to $1,000 might be possible this crypto bull market.
Bitcoin (BTC) rallied to record levels near $74,000 last month. At the same time, Litecoin was only able to rally to highs just above $110 this month.
That left it still down around 73% versus its December 2017 record highs at $420. But in light of the latest market dip, the Litecoin price is closer to 80% down from all-time highs.
