Litecoin stays on the trending list for a 2th day in a row. 3 national lists carry the coin today, among them Canada, Indonesia and South Korea. The price is +4.7% over 24 hours and +3.0% across the week. Daily volume of $221.2M against a $4.19B market cap means 5% of its value changed hands. The daily signal reads buy, with 60 out of 100 bullish conditions met. On the risk side the coin scores 10/100 (low), with days on the trending list weighing heaviest. From September 17, the day it entered the ranking, the change is +2.3%.

Stretching the window to a month gives +21.7%. Rank 26 by market value places it inside the top 100 by market value. Against the 50-day average the coin is +10.6% above. 62 days into a upward trend phase, by the Supertrend reading. Over that 90-day window it trades +2.3% below the peak and +31.8% above the trough. The remaining 23 markets we cover — United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom among them — do not have it trending.

Both halves of the model line up: the coin is being searched for and the price structure supports it.

Questions about Litecoin

Answered from today's data, regenerated every day

Why is Litecoin trending today?

Litecoin appears on 3 national trending lists (Canada, Indonesia and South Korea) and scores 6 out of 100 on the combined trend score, which puts it at rank 40 worldwide today. The score is built from its position in the CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap trending feeds, how many countries list it and whether Binance marks it as hot. It measures attention only — nothing in it reflects the price direction.

Is Litecoin a buy right now?

This site does not give recommendations. What the data shows: the daily technical model scores 60 out of 100 on 10 checks, which reads as buy, while the hype-risk score is 10/100 (low). Those two numbers answer different questions, and a high trending rank is not part of either.

How risky is Litecoin compared with other trending coins?

Its hype-risk score is 10 out of 100, a low reading. The largest contributors are days on the trending list (2 consecutive days) and 7-day price change. The score is six measures added together and it is recalculated every day, so it moves as the coin ages on the list.

What is the LTC price and how much has it moved?

Litecoin trades at $54.06 at the last daily close, +4.7% over 24 hours and +3.0% over seven days, +21.7% over thirty. Prices on this site come from the daily close at 00:00 UTC and are not live quotes.

How long has Litecoin been trending?

It has been on the list for 2 consecutive days, with a best position of 40. Persistence is part of the picture: the longer a coin stays, the less of the risk score comes from novelty.
