yes, that's what happened. LTC does its own pump, even when the market is in a downtrend. LTC can do the pump. it's because of halving that is heard by many people, which makes it even more believing that prices will increase. naturally, if the LTC demand on the market increases.
If the market will be the same until the halving of LTC, don't expect about it anymore and think of the pump once the halving is done.
The market is very unstable for the moment and it's volatility is again giving us a pressure and fear that the market can be down again.
