The halving already pumped LTC and the uptrend might continue. Aside the halving, LTC is a long term coin for me, the development updates are really impressive. Charlie Lee is one of the most prominent people in crypto space keeping up with the good works. I saw so many predictions with regards the LTC halving, some saying there will be a dump when it happens eventually but this claim was wrong, the reverse is happening.
There's a lots of spectators who's working right now with the current market, investors and traders who's aiming to gained from this coin will surely anticipate the pumped, it's tough for short term traders to ride as there's no clear direction while the halving is incoming, but like what you've said this coin is for long term and with how Bitcoin can go high the chance that LTC will also go that bull movement always be possible.
