I don't know about a pump, it seems unlikely at this stage. I think the pump happened in June, and after that it remains to be seem whether miners take the price up to make it profitable, or whether hashrate starts to fall...
It will not be easily reduced. When the market does not support Litecoin, businesses will have ways to make more investors buy LTC more.
because if the business gives its price less than $ 150, that means they don't want the miners to work either. therefore, business owners must be proactive in pushing prices. We should buy more now.
