How LTC behaves versus Bitcoin
LTC has a beta of 1.0 against Bitcoin: moves roughly 1:1 with Bitcoin (~1.00×). In plain terms, on a day Bitcoin moves 1%, LTC has moved about 1.0% on average in the same direction. Beta describes past co-movement over the available daily history; it is not a forecast.
What LTC moves with
Over the last 90 days its daily moves tracked ADA (0.78) and DOGE (0.76) most closely among the large coins we compare against. A correlation of 1.0 would mean they moved in lockstep; 0 would mean no relationship.
