In today’s article, we will be taking into discussing various factors and trading analysis to formulate a Litecoin price prediction for 2019.
What is Litecoin (LTC)?
Litecoin is a top crypto which was among the first altcoins that forked from Bitcoin. The coin was created in 2011, and since then it has risen to become one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap.
Litecoin is currently in 4th place with a market cap of $6,155,359,163 USD, with $3,002,853,279 USD being traded in the last 24 hours. Litecoin is currently priced at $97.81 USD, having a 1.24% increase in a 24-hour period.
Litecoin Price Prediction for 2019
From our analysis, Litecoin has had a pretty smooth evolution in 2019, with several signs of a recovery after the massive drop that hit the market.
Boosted by its February rally, Litecoin skyrocketed to #4 place on CoinMarketCap, surpassing EOS and Bitcoin Cash.
There have been many positive movements surrounding the coin, and there is also the impending Litecoin halving which is set to take place this August. Reward halvings usually impact the price of a coin, as it lowers the inflation rate and coin supply.
In the past, before a halving, there was a massive increase in price because the daily availability of Litecoin would have been limited. From this, we can expect that in August or before that, Litecoin’s price will see a sharp increase.

Developments
Litecoin got involved with Beam to collaborate on a Mimblewimble protocol for the coin, which has the potential to increase Litecoin’s global use. Mimblewimble is a privacy-dedicated protocol, and its adoption could also lead to a positive price movement.
Adoption wise, Litecoin has been doing quite well, as Surf Air, an operator from the West Coast of US has included support for Litecoin payments. In Latin America, people can use Litecoins to buy groceries at a supermarket called Oasis which is located in Rio De Janeiro in Brazil.

In conclusion
From the expert analysis and opinions from the crypto space, we can see that Litecoin is expected to continue its bullish trend and surpass the $100 mark. While some predictions are more optimistic than others, the general sentiment is that there will be a positive price movement for the altcoin.
The impending block halving which is scheduled to happen this month is also expected to drive the prices up.
While the signs look good now for Litecoin, keep in mind that no prediction is 100% accurate, and you shouldn’t base your trading decision just on a prediction.
