Litecoin was able to bypass Bitcoin Cash in terms of capitalization and break into the top five altcoins. The activity of LTC addresses in mid-November began to increase again. Now, on average, network users make 81,660 transactions per day.
The previous surge in online activity came in September ahead of the MimbleWimble update to ensure the confidential sending of funds. At the same time, there was an increase in the value of the altcoin.
The coin was able to break through the resistance at the $ 70 and $ 72 levels the day before. Analysts are paying attention to the improvement in technical indicators of LTC.
