Litecoin continues to plummet following highly anticipated halving
Despite being tipped to have a strong second half of 2019 following its third 'halving', Litecoin has struggled to maintain any positive momentum and has subsequently fallen in price by more than 18% since the block mining reward was slashed from 25 to 12.5 earlier this month. It's worth noting that leading up to the halving, Litecoin experienced five months of solid price action to the upside, rising by more than 350% as retail traders latched onto the hope that Litecoin would continue to rally after the halving. However, the reality is that the halving seems very much like a 'buy the rumour, sell the news' type of event, with seasoned traders taking profits weeks before the event took place.The post Litecoin continues to plummet following highly anticipated halving appeared first on Coin Rivet.
