If you looked at the last two Litecoin halving the price peaked 2 months before the main event, you need to be careful, I have seen this before buying the rumor, and sell the news, this happens in the last Bitcoin halving also. I personally don't rate Litecoin again it has lost its place in the sun and I don't think there is any development coming out of the chain now that will make people flock back to Litecoin, I may be wrong but I just don't see it for now
really agreed with the buy the rumour and sell the news, usually when the halving occurs the value instead dumping so hard because many already make entry when rumours was still around it's the same case with bitcoin as you said.
moreover the fact that litecoin isn't even a smart contract coin hardly gonna help this coin honestly, with doge it's meme coin, basically out of the ordinary and easily increase when got shilled but lite coin, is entirely different coin with different potential, i'd say, why not invest in bitcoin instead if that's the case now.
after all bitcoin have significantly more potential than litecoin and halving is near too with bitcoin.
