If you hold the light coin at a higher price, you will definitely be able to recover it.
Of course, I actually bought litecoin at $230 at it's peak price. I still hold it, though theres a slight regret feeling but good thing there is always a good way to recover --- that is holding til the pump.
The reason why the price of light coin is decreasing is to increase because if the price of token does not decrease then no one can buy and if not then no one can sell.
Guess you forglt that we are in crypto world where the market will flactuate or inflate. The volatile market gives us the opportunity to sell or to buy and that is actually the main reason of it's great use.
