<p style="text-align: justify">In recent years, the once-popular altcoin <strong>Litecoin (LTC)</strong> has reached a new milestone in network performance. Litecoin’s hashrate is currently at an all-time high of 1.31 PH/s, well above the petaHash threshold.</p>
<h2 id="critical-data-in-litecoin">Critical Data in Litecoin</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">Hash rate is a measure of the computational power used to secure and process transactions on a <strong>blockchain</strong> network. A higher hashrate indicates a more secure network, resistant to attacks, and increased miner participation. Miners are nodes that validate transactions and create new blocks on the blockchain, compensated with newly minted tokens and transaction fees.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Launched in 2011 as a fork of <strong><a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/bitcoins-volatility-decreased-reasons-and-implications/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a></strong>, Litecoin uses the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus with some variations. <strong>Litecoin</strong> has a limited supply similar to Bitcoin, with a maximum of 84 million LTC tokens created so far. Since 2011, Litecoin has been operating with 100% uptime, securing and processing billions of dollars in value, and prides itself as the largest global Scrypt-based network.</p>

<h2 id="turning-point-for-ltc">Turning Point for LTC</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">As another milestone, Litecoin announced in a tweet on January 26 that the network has processed over 16 million transactions to date. The altcoin’s price movement could see a wide range after its price stagnation following the most recent halving in 2023. Attempts by bulls to break this range were repelled by bears near the $75 to $80 region.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">While the bulls continue their persistent struggle, they may face a more challenging task in the very short term. <strong>Litecoin</strong> could encounter a short-term barrier at the $70.12 level, which is the daily MA 50 limiting its price. Litecoin recorded a price increase in today’s trading but the bulls were unable to surpass this level. At the time of writing, <strong>LTC</strong> has fallen by 0.82% in the last 24 hours to $67.72.</p>
