Quick take:

• Litecoin is exhibiting a bullish divergence between daily active addresses and price
• LTC is showing a 3 month high in terms of address activity vs its current price
• Litecoin’s MimbleWimble protocol is due for launch on its testnet this month
• LTC could be gearing up for a push up due to the impact of Confidential transactions on the crypto-verse

The crypto markets are in a state of relative calm after what looked like a never-ending week of losses. The month of September kicked off with Litecoin comfortable trading above $60 before a downward spiral that saw LTC test the $45 support zone on several occasions.

Additionally, David Burkett provided his monthly MimbleWimble update in which he stated that everything was on track for a testnet launch this month.

Everything is on track for a testnet release at the end of this month. I’m still figuring out a few final details, but I’ll share more information later this month about what the testnet will look like, and how everyone can get involved.

Conclusion

Summing it up, Litecoin’s network activity is currently exhibiting a bullish divergence with its price. Such a divergence could be foreshadowing a move up by LTC in the crypto markets. With the MimbleWimble protocol about to be launched on testnet, Litecoin could be gearing up for a brief rally due to the positive impact of confidential transactions on the LTC network.

As with all analyses of Litecoin, traders and investors are advised to use adequate stop losses and low leverage when trading LTC on the various derivatives platforms.
