Dear valued/clients,

The Price of Litecoin has been steadily climbing in anticipation of the block reward halving projected for August 8th.Block halvings are one of the most important fundamental indicators in Bitcoin and Litecoin, which also make them incredibly vital in pushing an agenda in the media.

Key Points:

• We۪re seeing a significant growth in media pushing the price growth from block reward halvingagenda, and while it۪s fundamentally correct, we believe the growth has already happened and it۪s far too late to get into that now.
• Strong Correlation emerging between the events in the last halving and today.

But 42 days before the halving, the price plummets 60% back down to $2.99as the large LTC holders use the narrative and increased volume to exit their positions.The resulting price growth from the low of 2015 to halving date was +145%, ($1.22 to $2.99) a far more grounded result.

LTC/USD Key Levels

Potential Trading Strategies

Selling LTC into USD

• Remember that we are in the beginning of a crypto bull market, so plan your re-entry to avoid missing the market growth, with staggered re-entries at $115, $100, $90.

Selling LTC into BTC:

• This action has a greater risk-to-return ratio than selling into USD, as the pre-halving dump risk on LTC is mitigated while at the same time, value can be captured if we continue the crypto bull run.
• Those who want LTC in their long term portfolios can re-enter post-halving, support levels on LTCBTC: 0.013 and 0.011.
