Litecoin (LTC) is the first hard fork to be derived from the main chain of the original crypto, Bitcoin (BTC).
That is how Litecoin is even popularly known as Bitcoin’s little brother, taking the spot among the top 5 top cryptos for a long time.
However, Litecoin has seen a major decline back in the second quarter of 2018 when EOS (EOS) surpassed it by its market cap.
Later on, Litecoin went through another decline touching new lows and leaving the ranking of the 6th largest crypto to Stellar (XLM).
Back in September LTC even went below the value of 50$, touching its all-time low since making it to its record price.
What is the price of Litecoin today and will the crypto get to see a rebound in the remaining months of 2018?

Can Litecoin Go Through a Serious Rebound by the End of 2018?
Litecoin is in the red on its YTD chart, going down by -17%. However, LTC managed to collect at least 1% of gains during the last week which was marked in gains and positive market trends.
LTC is still traded below 50$ per one unit, however, it seems that Litecoin finds it difficult to go above the price of 60$ potentially making room for 70$.
The last time Litecoin came near the value of 70$ was back in mid-September when LTC touched 68$ with a great potential of going over the initial goal of 70$.
But, LTC dropped once again, touching new lows and having a hard time with keeping the value above 60$ per one Litecoin unit.
The adoption of Litecoin might as well go through a major recollection where many people might decide to invest in LTC again (or for the first time) given the fact that you can now send and receive payments via Facebook Messenger.
