Biggest Movers: LTC, ETC Rebound on Monday, Despite Bearish Sentiment

Biggest Movers: LTC, ETC Rebound on Monday, Despite Bearish Sentiment

Litecoin was back in the green to start the week, despite the crypto market continuing to trend mostly lower. At the time of writing, the global market cap is down 0.59%, following a recent red wave. Ethereum classic also climbed higher on Monday, hitting a four-day high in the process.

Litecoin (LTC)

Litecoin (LTC) rose for a third consecutive session on Monday, as the token continued to move away from a recent nine-month low.

Following a bottom at $64.33 on Sunday, LTC/USD jumped to an intraday peak of $66.70 earlier in the day.

LTC has mostly been in the green since falling to its lowest point since November, during last week’s session.

As a result of recent bearish momentum, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) dropped below the 20.00 mark.

Currently, the index is at a reading of 21.13, which is marginally below an upcoming resistance level of 23.00.

If litecoin were to break out of this level, the next price target will likely be $70.00.

Ethereum Classic (ETC)

Additionally, ethereum classic also moved higher to start the week, following a recent drop below a floor at $15.00.

ETC/USD rose to a high of $15.90 earlier in the day, which comes less than 24 hours after trading at a low of $15.38.

Today’s peak sees ethereum classic trade at its highest point since last Thursday, when price was over $16.00.

Price strength on ETC is now hovering around 28.00, with a ceiling of 29.00 the next obstacle to overcome.

Should it rise beyond this hurdle, there is a good chance that ETC will be above $16.00.

Deep Web Roundup: Dream Adds Monero and Bitcoin Tumbler “Chip Mixer” Launches

The darknet has been quiet of late, which is the way it’s meant to be. No news means no mega busts, honeypots, or mass market shutdowns. Even when it’s out of the spotlight though, the deep web is quietly making news, whether trialling the latest privacy coins or the newest coin mixers that promise to restore a little of the privacy that’s being stripped away from bitcoin users on a daily basis.

Chip Mixer is a relatively new bitcoin tumbler that’s designed to restore some of that privacy. Available on both the clearnet and darknet, the service uses a variety of techniques to obfuscate blockchain m...
