While Bitcoin continues to dominate the weekly market performance, the only challenger to it is Litecoin at the moment. while the BTC weekly gains stand at just over 7%, the LTC weekly gains are at 20%. Almost every other altcoin has failed in this regard and has dropped against BTC. The below weekly chart clearly shows that Litecoin (LTC) has been making close moves to that of Bitcoin (BTC).

A week before, Litecoin (LTC) made strong advancements from $82 all the way to hit its new 2020-highs above $120. even during the market correction on Thursday, Litecoin managed to hold above its crucial support levels of $100.
