Litecoin Daily Returns

Historical price returns computed from daily futures closes: monthly and quarterly heatmap, weekly strip, weekday averages and yearly totals. Month return = last close of the month vs the previous month's last close; quarters and years compound the months.

Day by day in Oct

Each cell is the actual daily return on that Oct date in that year — one row per year, one column per calendar day.

About Litecoin (LTC) daily returns

This page cuts Litecoin (LTC)'s daily history two ways — average return by weekday for each year, and the actual daily return on every calendar date once a single month is picked. LTC's daily cells run at lower amplitude than nearly every alt here — the fading-echo profile at its finest resolution. That makes it a useful control row: a weekday pattern that appears in LTC and the majors alike is market-wide, not coin lore.

Each figure is a UTC daily close against the previous close, in USD; days after a data gap are excluded rather than smeared into the next day. LTC's data starts at its perpetual listing in early 2020. Each cycle's rally rows are less saturated than the last as capital concentrated into Bitcoin — a fading echo, at every grain.

Frequently asked questions

How much did LTC move on its latest trading day?

Litecoin's latest daily return is −1.98% for 31 October 2026, the daily close against the previous day's close on UTC boundaries. So far in October 2026, 16 of 31 trading days closed higher; the biggest up day was the 28th at +3.50% and the biggest down day was the 29th at −7.22%.

Which day of the week has the best LTC returns right now?

Across all years on record, Friday has the highest median average daily return for Litecoin at +0.40% per day, while Monday is the weakest at −0.11%. In 2026 so far, Friday leads at +0.93% per day and Tuesday trails at −0.46%. Each cell is the mean of that weekday's daily returns within a year, so the numbers are small per day but add up over time.

How does LTC perform on weekends?

Litecoin's median average daily return is +0.40% on Saturdays and −0.05% on Sundays, against an average of +0.07% per day across Monday to Friday. Crypto futures trade 24/7, so weekend candles are real trading days, not gaps.

Which day of the month is historically best for LTC?

By median average daily return across all years, the 23rd of the month has been Litecoin's strongest calendar day at +1.05% and the 31st its weakest at −0.75%. 18 of the 31 calendar days carry a positive median. Day-of-month effects are noisy, so read them as texture rather than a rule.

What is LTC's daily view useful for?

As a control. Litecoin tracks Bitcoin directionally at lower amplitude, so patterns that show in both daily grids are market effects, while patterns unique to a high-beta grid are usually that coin's own noise.

How far back does LTC's daily return data go?

LTC's history here begins at its first daily perpetual-futures candle on Binance in early 2020; every weekday and day-of-month figure is computed from that point forward — earlier spot-era history is not included.

How is a daily return calculated here?

Each day's UTC close divided by the previous day's UTC close, minus one, in USD. Days that follow a gap in the data are excluded so a multi-day move is never counted as one day.
