Working with the Litecoin vs US Dollar series
Litecoin is Bitcoin's oldest surviving derivative codebase — same halving mechanics on a four-year cycle offset from Bitcoin's (August 2019, August 2023), faster blocks, and a history of trading as high-beta Bitcoin. The series starts September 2018, after that year's crash, so it opens in a bear-market trough. Like all crypto here it trades 24/7: the daily-candle cut-off convention caveat applies across the family.
