For sure litecoin was pumped heavily. Along with many other altcoins. Do you have a youtube link for this video? With english translation maybe? Would be nice.
Since this was a dump, and pretty much people got on train(if these news are real) at low prices, we can expect a pump.imo
How do you figure? The "pump" already occurred. The pump was all about dumping to make FIAT [USD, CHY, EUR, etc...]. The one's who pumped it know there are many who are eager to dump for similar gains or to reduce losses.
Unfortunately, most of the world still revolves around FIAT and not crypto. Most of the people who invested in LTC wanted to dump for gains around $10.00 USD. Unfortunately, for them, other whales knew this and dumped at $8.00 USD. They paused the dump several times on the way down to make people think it had stopped to get sufficient buy orders in place to dump into again and again and again. It was a brilliant plan.
These whales know they would meet a lot of resistance on the way up if they were to pump it again. LTC is not adopted for wide use the way BTC is. I can actually pay my Dish Network bill with BTC but one cannot do this with LTC. I don't know that LTC will ever get adopted by retailers the way BTC has thus far.
If you want another pump again, it will not happen until close to the next BTC block halving. However, I see it still unlikely then. I could be wrong, but this pump and dump has left quite a stain on the hearts and minds of many who were broken by this latest pump and dump scheme. I actually made out good [on the up side] myself. However, I know of many who got burned quite badly.
