Compounded price return for every calendar month on record. Read down a column for seasonality, across a row for the year's rhythm.
Litecoin is one of the oldest assets in crypto, and its modern grid reads like a fading echo of Bitcoin's: directionally similar columns at lower amplitude, with each cycle's rally rows less saturated than the last as capital concentrated into BTC. Its most distinctive months historically clustered around its own halvings and the anticipation runs that preceded them.
LTC's value on this page is partly as a control asset: when a calendar month is green across BTC, ETH and LTC alike, the move was market-wide; when LTC sat out a rally that lit up the high-beta grids, that rally was narrative-specific. The coin selector makes that cross-check quick.
Historically LTC tended to rally in the months ahead of its halvings and fade after — an anticipation pattern visible as green clusters before the halving months in its grid. Like all seasonality, it weakened once widely known.
Lower beta. Litecoin's monthly moves have compressed cycle over cycle as it matured and lost narrative share, so on the shared color scale its cells saturate less than newer, more speculative alts.
To Litecoin's first daily perpetual candle on Binance in early 2020. Earlier spot-era history is not included — every page in this tool is built from the same perpetual-futures daily closes.
