Charlie Lee tweeted that he expects a Litecoin correction soon. Here is the tweet
"Ok, sorry to spoil the party, but I need to reign in the excitement a bit...
Buying LTC is extremely risky. I expect us to have a multi-year bear market like the one we just had where LTC dropped 90% in value ($48 to $4). So if you can't handle LTC dropping to $20, don't buy! "
Might be a good time to sell for profit before the correction. any thoughts?

It says something very positive about Lee to make that statement. If you respect creator honesty hold on to it.
That said its about to plateau or correct so sell for profit and re-buy in

Charlie Lee is a real gent. that said, i've liquidated about 60% of my LTC position and aiming to re-buy in, probably between 100-150USD or 900-1200k sats... great day, though!!

So strange for him to come out and say that, perhaps he is shorting his own currency? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I think a correction is a given but to such low levels I don't think so. Maybe to around $150.

I like litecoin but this is crazy. Is this a push from asian investors? I can't figure this one out

Well he would be full of crap if he said litecoin was gonna moon after already pumping, it's just common sense. I think he is a nice guy but I still don't see much in store for litecoin long term vs other alts.

If LTC kept going the way it was until now, a crash in the price and reputation would be most likely.

Maybe to around $150. Maybe he's trying to stay honest. Anybody looking to those graphs could tell that a correction has to come. Of course, we'll not know in time how big is it going to be. The growth was too big, too fast.

i strongly disagree. given progresses on LN and atomic swaps, i think LTC is positioning itself to be the ideal and practical complement to BTC. was that to happen, 3rd or even 2nd rank in total marketcap would become a concrete possibility

It was more sarcasm than actual expectation, I'm sure he fully believes in his coin and you're probably right that he is just tempering expectations, I think perhaps a little over the top though, I guess prepare people for the worst but to suggest a 90% fall in price is pretty crazy. I'm guessing he doesn't have much faith on crypto not being in a big bubble right now!

well, i personally believe that correction will be milder and shorter this time, but a 90% fall wouldn't be unheard of - that's basically what happened every time BTC went on a similar rally as this year!! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Charlie Lee tweeted that he expects a Litecoin correction soon.

A 90% fall would be far bigger than any individual rally, it would take us down to around $2000 which would be almost all of the years growth gone. Any percentage fall is always bigger than a % gain as the number you're working with to calculate the percentage is higher.

Such an odd thing to say lmao. But maybe some truth to it, great time to cash out and rebuy later.

Smart man I would heed his advice especially when it comes to LTC. However it shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody following the markets that LTC will correct. That other aspect though about the bear market that concerns me and that would suck if that happens but we will make it out nonetheless.

He could be right, litecoin is having a massive pump these last days (value was at peak around 350 $) without a real occasion. I will hold my litecoin though and buy more when the crash comes!

Hundreds of thousands of new people have signed up on coinbase and are investing money into btc, ltc, and eth. Hence why the price is mainly pumped up for these 3 over the past few days.
