Litecoin Price Revisits $56, What Is Next For The Bulls?

Litecoin price witnessed an increase in value over the last 24 hours. In the past day, the coin surged more than 3%. The past week for LTC has remained quite positive for the altcoin as it logged over a 9% gain in that timeframe. The coin has continued to form higher highs on its chart, demonstrating that the bulls were in control of the price. That caused the altcoin to break its consolidation and shatter above important resistance marks. The technical outlook for the coin was bullish at the time of writing. The demand for Litecoin registered appreciation as demand for the coin also shot up. The coin has established strong support for itself at the $53 price mark. Currently, LTC trades at a vital price mark as the coin has struggled to move past this price level for the past several weeks. If the bulls fail to sustain the price at the current price, a fall through the $53 support line will bring the bears back on the chart. At this price mark, LTC is trading at an 86% low compared to its all-time high that the coin secured in May 2021. Litecoin Price Analysis: One-Day Chart LTC was trading at $56 at the time of writing. After a solid consolidation, the coin has finally been able to revisit the $56 price mark. If Litecoin has to remain bullish, it has to continue trading above its current price zone. The coin will encounter immediate resistance at $57. A move above $57 will help LTC to touch the $60 price mark. On the other hand, a slight loss in bullish strength, can drive the altcoin’s price down to $53 and then to $50. The amount of Litecoin traded in the past session was in the green. This means that the buyers were back on the chart. Technical Analysis The altcoin has implied that the bulls were back as the demand for the altcoin noted an uptick on the one-day chart. The Relative Strength Index was at the 60-mark, a sign of bullishness as buyers were more in number than sellers. Litecoin price was above the 20-SMA line, which meant increased demand for the coin and also showed that buyers were driving the price momentum in the market.

Market valuation for the token rose from $9.02 billion a week ago to $15 billion as of press time. It’s worth mentioning that the popular meme coin is still trading at a massive 82.66% loss from its all-time high. Dogecoin Snatches The 8th Spot From Cardano Dogecoin is now the eighth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, according to data provided by CoinMarketCap. Cardano previously held this position. Dogecoin overtook Cardano on Saturday night with a current market value of $15,366,657,028. This puts it ahead of Cardano (9) and Solana (10), with respective market caps of $13 and $11 billion. Monday’s rumours that Elon Musk would acquire Twitter’s social media platform boosted the value of the meme token. Doge’s optimism was maintained all week long, thanks to two mainstays. First was the overall crypto market growth this week, which saw the entire market breach the $1 trillion barrier. Beyond that, Elon Musk’s progress toward finalizing the Twitter takeover agreement was a major factor in Doge’s ascent. The billionaire visited Twitter’s headquarters on Wednesday and officially completed the deal on Friday, October 28. This brought an end to the six-month negotiation process. The potential for Dogecoin’s integration with Twitter has boosted its value. Musk previously proposed utilizing DOGE to control Twitter spam and bots and charge users for tweets. Cardano Plans To Integrate Dogecoin On Twitter As A Sidechain Charles Hoskinson intends to incorporate ADA and the famous meme token Dogecoin into Elon Musk’s Twitter. The Cardano creator believes that the social media platform will soon integrate DOGE, as Musk has mentioned on several occasions. This confidence stems from Musk’s recent completion of his $44 billion buyout of Twitter. As Elon Musk becomes Twitter’s new “Chief Twit,” the microblogging platform is about to undergo significant changes. These changes all appear to be beneficial to cryptocurrencies, notably Dogecoin.

Hoskinson was asked if he thought Dogecoin would adopt a PoS or PoUW consensus system before its Twitter integration. Instead, he proposed making the dog-themed cryptocurrency a Cardano sidechain. The Cardano developer has shown his willingness to migrate the network at no cost and implement smart contracts. Featured image from Pixabay and chart from TradingView.com

Shouldn’t it be impossible to propose an invalid block? Why are validator attestations important?

This is a rather fundamental question so I'd love to get some clarity on what I'm misunderstanding. I understand each slot some validator proposes a block, and a committee representing a subset of validators "attests" to the validity of the block. Hence the name "validator" rather than "miner". What I don't get is, how is…
