the only reason this could be true is because of the upcoming block halving, but it's a transitory and momentaneous thing, don't ride too much that wave...
Litecoin block halving is still more than 90 days away. Do you think it is already influencing the price now? Let's hope litecoin regains some of its glory, around 10 usd would be nice!
90 days goes by real fast i should think we'll see LTC into the $3 mark again provided bitcoin doesnt dip. You remember when the block halving did to bitcoin this cant be totally overlooked in the litecoin economy.
