Daily closing price over the full window we hold.
Traded volume 364 complete days, US dollars
Dollars changing hands each day in this asset's main Binance market — not a price, and not the same thing as market cap. Today is excluded because it is still in progress. Thin volume is what turns a small order into a large move.
Drawdown from peak worst -68.7%
How far below its running high the price sat on each day. The single max-drawdown figure above says how deep; this says when, and for how long it stayed there.
LTC priced in Bitcoin LTC / BTC
The same asset measured against Bitcoin instead of dollars. A line falling here while the dollar price rises means LTC went up and Bitcoin went up more.
Volatility, rolling 30 days annualised
Realised volatility recomputed each day over the previous 30. The figures above are two fixed snapshots; this shows whether the asset is settling down or winding up.
Every chart above plots a different measurement — none of them is the price line repeated at another zoom level. All are drawn from daily closes, so intraday spikes do not appear, and our history reaches back 365 days — the high and low quoted anywhere on this page are for that window, not all time.
02 What the indicators say
A transparent, rule-based read of standard technical indicators. Each line states the rule it applied, so you can disagree with the rule rather than having to trust a score. These describe current price behaviour. They are not forecasts.
- Sideways Moving averages are interleaved with price — no clean trend alignment.
- Neutral RSI(14) at 50.4 sits in the neutral 30-70 band.
- Negative momentum The MACD line is below its signal line (negative histogram) — near-term momentum is downward.
- Below 200-day Price is below its 200-day moving average — a common long-term regime marker.

$41.91 – $49.31
Derived from realised volatility: if the next 30 days are as volatile as the last 30 and returns are normally distributed, price would end inside this band about two times in three. This is not a forecast. It is a restatement of how much this asset has been moving. We do not publish price predictions or confidence scores.
03 Performance
| Window | Return | High | Low |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 days | +0.29% | — | — |
| 30 days | +4.34% | $47.84 | $44.25 |
| 90 days | -21.90% | $57.50 | $40.92 |
| 365 days | -65.27% | $130.91 | $40.92 |
Returns are measured close-to-close. Highs and lows are the highest and lowest daily close in the window, not intraday extremes.
04 Supply
| Circulating supply | 76.32M LTC |
|---|---|
| Total supply | 84.00M LTC |
| Maximum supply | 84.00M LTC |
| Issued so far | 90.9% |
| Fully diluted valuation | $3.82B |
Fully diluted valuation is the current price multiplied by maximum supply. It assumes every remaining coin is issued and that price does not change as that happens — neither of which is a safe assumption. Treat it as an upper bound, not a target.

About this page
This page reports the current market state of Litecoin. It is generated from live data, so the numbers change; the descriptions around them do not editorialise about where the price is going.
What is deliberately missing. There is no all-time high, because our price history reaches back one year and we will not present a bounded window as an all-time figure. There is no price prediction, no target and no confidence score, because we would have to invent them. There is no "buy" or "sell" rating.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of Litecoin today?
Litecoin (LTC) is trading at $45.48. That is +0.29% over the last 24 hours and +1.23% over the last seven days. Prices update every few minutes.
What is the market cap of Litecoin?
Litecoin has a market capitalisation of $3.47B, which ranks it #25 among all cryptocurrencies. Market cap is the circulating supply multiplied by the current price — it is not the amount of money invested in the asset.
How many LTC are in circulation?
About 76.32M LTC are circulating, out of a maximum supply of 84.00M — roughly 90.9% of the total that will ever exist.
Is Litecoin overbought or oversold?
Its 14-day RSI is 50.4. Above 70 is conventionally called overbought and below 30 oversold, so LTC currently reads as neither. RSI describes how one-sided recent price moves have been; it is not a signal to trade.
What is the highest price Litecoin reached recently?
Over the last 365 days of daily closes, Litecoin peaked at $130.91 and bottomed at $40.92. Note this is a 365-day window, not an all-time figure — our price history reaches back one year, so we do not claim to know the all-time high.
How has Litecoin performed over the past month?
Litecoin is +4.34% over 30 days and +0.29% over 7 days, measured on daily closes. Its annualised volatility over the past 30 days is 28%, which is relatively low for a major cryptocurrency.
Should I buy Litecoin?
We do not give investment advice and nothing on this page is a recommendation. This page reports prices and describes what standard technical indicators currently read; it makes no forecast. Cryptocurrency is volatile and you can lose your entire stake.
