Litecoin’s Daily Active Addresses Hint of A Bullish Divergence

Despite the market turmoil, activity on the Litecoin network has continued to be considerably high. According to the team at Santiment, Litecoin is showing a 3 month high in address activity divergence when compared to its current price level at around $48. The team at Santiment shared this observation via the following tweet.

As has been noted several times with other networks such as Bitcoin’s, Ethereum’s and ChainLink’s, the price of coin or token is dependant on the network activity (Metcalfe’s Law). In the case of Litecoin, a divergence between daily active addresses and price could foreshadow a possible push up by LTC in the crypto markets in the days or weeks ahead.

Litecoin’s Fundamentals Remain Strong

Litecoin’s high network activity was also captured by David Schwartz who is Litecoin Foundation’s Project Director. In a recent tweet, Mr. Schwartz explained that Litecoin’s fundamentals are currently very strong using the following stats.

MimbleWimble to Soon Launch on Litecoin’s Testnet

Additionally, David Burkett provided his monthly MimbleWimble update in which he stated that everything was on track for a testnet launch this month.

Everything is on track for a testnet release at the end of this month. I’m still figuring out a few final details, but I’ll share more information later this month about what the testnet will look like, and how everyone can get involved.

Conclusion

Summing it up, Litecoin’s network activity is currently exhibiting a bullish divergence with its price. Such a divergence could be foreshadowing a move up by LTC in the crypto markets. With the MimbleWimble protocol about to be launched on testnet, Litecoin could be gearing up for a brief rally due to the positive impact of confidential transactions on the LTC network.

As with all analyses of Litecoin, traders and investors are advised to use adequate stop losses and low leverage when trading LTC on the various derivatives platforms.
