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!
Manipulation is the answer.
It happened with doge and other coins.
Pump the price until the halving time, and dump right after the halving to lower levels than before
(I might get some LTC since there are still some months until the halvings)
