Litecoin Price Seems Poised for a Push to $55 Over the Weekend
As all top cryptocurrencies are moving upward once again due to some recent developments, all eyes are turning to Litecoin right now. Not necessarily because there is a relatively new development affecting LTC, but mainly because it can usually generate some positive momentum with little effort. A push to $ 55 is not out of the question by any means.
Litecoin Price Momentum is Picking Up
Not much has happened in the Litecoin price department over the past month. That is not entirely surprising, as all top cryptocurrencies have seen a steady decline and plenty of sideways trading momentum. Litecoin is no exception in this regard, although a small nudge in the right direction can make a world of difference moving forward.

Electroneum Price Notes Steep Drop Despite eCommerce Push
Whereas most cryptocurrencies are starting to see some upward momentum, things are very different for Electroneum. While that is not entirely abnormal, the steep losses are piling up fairly quickly. It seems unlikely ETN will remain above $ 0.0205 for much longer, although altcoins have a tendency to move in mysterious ways.
Electroneum Price Faces a big Setback
When the altcoins are rising, one would often expect to see Electroneum on that list. In this particular case, that is not what is happening, even though there is still a chance the momentum turns around. This massive dip was not entirely expected, yet it seems ETN is not catching a break in either the USD or BTC department right now.
