Just a normal spike because the market is slowly getting better and its actually good that LTC is following the trend of Bitcoin today.
I didn't hear any new news about LTC, they are too quiet in the past months but now they are making progress and that is a good sign. Many investors are coming in for sure, they see the potential of LTC and they know when we enter into a bull market, LTC will rise as well.
I also didn't hear any news about Litecoin, they are like vintage cars have their own fans, new altcoins are more interested but quickly abandoned.
