LTC/BTC pair could be nearing a bottom

Litecoin Prices Consolidating After Rough September

Litecoin's price has had a hard time in the fallout of China's initial coin offering (ICO) ban.

While both bitcoin and litecoin took a hit after the early September statement from Chinese regulators – followed by domestic cryptocurrency exchanges voluntarily ceasing to offer services in the aftermath – bitcoin quickly recovered and neared record highs against the US dollar this week.

litecoin is now down by more than $40 from its record high of $98.28, achieved on September 1. Further, the litecoin-bitcoin (LTC/BTC) exchange rate fell from 0.019 BTC (September 2 high) to 0.0098 BTC this week.

However, price action analysis suggests that the LTC/BTC pair could be nearing a bottom.
