On the other hand, Bitcoin has lost almost 4% of its value, setting its price at $86,365. BTC plummeted as low as $86,000 during the morning trading session before moving to the current level.
Why LTC is leading
Some market analysts remain convinced that LTC is set for a further breakout. Their sentiment is based on the fact that the coin is considered a commodity.
These analysts believe the asset could benefit more from the current change in crypto regulatory policies. Some investors understand this and are pricing in the coin based on its recent recovery. Litecoin also benefits from the recent hype surrounding the growing number of LTC-based Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) proposals.
