Litecoin(LTC) was once recognized as a mainstream digital asset, but its recent performance has indeed been disappointing. Meanwhile, other major cryptocurrencies have taken turns to rally, while LTC has struggled to form an effective rebound, and market enthusiasm has noticeably declined.

Many investors are troubled by one question: should they continue to hold LTC now? Is this former "digital silver" caught in a long-term correction, or is it just brewing for the next wave of market movement?

To understand this issue, we need to look at it from several angles. First, LTC's relatively lagging performance in this cycle—whether it is a technical issue or market sentiment? Second, from on-chain data and capital flows, can we find some positive signals? Finally, for current investors, should they cut losses and exit, or buy the dip and wait for a turnaround?

If you're also worried about LTC's prospects, why not analyze this question together?

Alright, LTC really underperformed this time. What era are we still waiting for a turnaround? Digital silver? Probably digital lead haha. Holding this pile of paper, might as well go all in on those few crazy coins. Wait, are you guys really still researching on-chain data? I went all in on shib a long time ago. LTC should have been out long ago; this thing is just a chicken rib. Honestly, cutting losses is wiser than waiting; don’t let hope hijack your judgment. Good grief, another article urging me to keep taking on more risk. Better to gamble on a new coin; LTC really has no hope this time. Once the silver, now just scrap in the trash heap.

It was about time to wake up; LTC indeed underperformed this wave. LTC is still dreaming; everyone else has taken off. I'm feeling very confused now holding LTC. Digital silver? Digital scrap silver is more like it haha. Really, LTC should cut losses decisively, don't wait any longer. Why do people still believe in this coin? It's already out. The problem is no one is trading it anymore; the hype is gone, and everything is pointless. On-chain data looks good, but it's useless without funds entering the market. Buying LTC on dips? I advise you not to bother. If LTC can turn around, I’ll eat all my coins. Honestly, in this cycle, LTC is just a sidekick.

Oh, don't mention it. LTC is now just a "digital freezer," lying dormant for so long with no sign of improvement. This round of LTC is really dragging down the market. Watching other coins take off, it's still stuck in the same place. Hold or sell, this dilemma is killing me. Can someone give a definitive answer? Actually, LTC has long ceased to be the "silver" of the market. Currently, the market doesn't even consider it. Talking about on-chain data and capital flow, it's better to look at popularity. No hype means no chance. I'm not expecting LTC to make a comeback anymore. Holding onto it is less worthwhile than switching to something else. If LTC continues like this, it might be removed from the list of mainstream coins. Why is this wave of market movement so disappointing? I really can't understand. Rather than stressing over stop-losses, it's better to ask yourself how much you can lose—that's the key.

It's really funny. LTC is now just a sleeping old guy, while other coins are having fun, it's still snoring. Hold or sell? I think there's no special reason to hold stubbornly; anyway, the funds have already moved elsewhere. What’s the use of on-chain data? If popularity is gone, it’s gone. That’s the most genuine signal. If you ask me, instead of waiting for a rebound, it’s better to look at other opportunities. This round for LTC is a bit uncertain. Digital silver? Now it’s more like digital tissue. Come on. Stop-loss or strategic positioning depends on individual risk tolerance. Anyway, I’m losing patience more and more. Just want to know if LTC still has a chance to return to the mainstream stage. Feels a bit forgotten. Other coins take turns soaring, watching LTC just for the fun of it is really hard. There’s still some LTC in the old wallet, but honestly, I regret not switching positions earlier.

This wave of LTC really can't be pushed up; it feels like it's either about to die or is holding a big move in reserve. Can't see through it.
