The token also remained pretty active on its metrics front, which might have played a key role in its price pump over the last few weeks.
LTC’s MVRV Ratio increased steadily, which was bullish. Litecoin’s volume followed a similar route and went up. The social volume also spiked quite a few times, reflecting LTC’s popularity.
Moreover, the daily active addresses on the LTC network remained consistent, which indicated a stable number of users on the network. The concerning factor was the network growth, which went sharply down.

Realistic or not, here’s LTCs market cap in BTC’s terms
The bulls are hard to beat
LTC’s daily chart revealed a massive bullish advantage in the market as most of the indicators were in buyers’ favor. As per the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) ribbon, the 20-day EMA was well above the 55-day EMA, suggesting a continued uptrend.
The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) was also resting above the neutral mark, which looked bullish. Nonetheless, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) was in the overbought zone, which might lead to an increase in selling pressure.
