Litecoin's price has remained relatively stable over the past 24 hours, despite experiencing a surge in November. Some experts believe that LTC may have reached its lowest point and is now ready to reclaim its value of $70 and potentially even move toward $100.
Currently, the 14th largest cryptocurrency is trading at $65.41 as bulls and bears compete for control of the market trend. Litecoin has a market capitalization of $4.7 billion, compared to the $11.33 billion it had at the beginning of the year when it was trading at around $163.
