A long term look at the Litecoin LTC price
Trader FromTheEther has taken a long-term look at Litecoin. As the analyst notes, the last Litecoin cycle took almost four years (about 3.7 years) to recover from old highs.
Currently, Litecoin is a little over two years in, so it’s quite possible we will have to wait a while before we see Litecoin reach its previous highs.
As such, he doesn’t believe 2020 will be the year Litecoin sets a new all-time high. 2021, however, is poised to be much better. This is because 2021 is the relative year to 2017 in the average four-year cycle.

As he states, he believes a price surge in the summer, with six months of downward movement. He then suggests we’ll hit a bottom in the winter before surging in 2021, potentially to new highs.
