Litecoin (LTC) magnificent 10% rise, SMA50 breach in sight

The crypto market is slowly rebounding and top altcoins are enjoying the uptrend signaling a possible bullish momentum in the coming days. Ethereum (ETH) breached the $170 resistance mark, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin SV (BSV) grew 5.64% and 4.04% in the preparedness of the upcoming block reward halving and Litecoin (LTC) boosted 11% in the past 24 hours.

LTC/USD experienced steady growth from an intraday low of $40.01 on Monday this week, to a current price of $47.16, representing a gain of 17.8% in a few hours. However, the current price is a slight dip from an intraday high of $47.82 on Coinbase.
