Litecoin's Fourth Halving Approaches Amid Bearish Metrics and Market Indicators of Hope

Litecoin's fourth halving is set to occur on August 3rd, reducing block rewards from 12.5 LTC to 6.25 LTC. Despite some optimistic market indicators, the broader crypto market seems to have a negative outlook on the event. Litecoin's mining industry has been declining, with a drop in hashrate and miners' fees, as well as a decrease in social volume and investor interest. However, there is a possibility of a bullish falling wedge forming in LTC's price chart, which could lead to a bull rally if the bulls can beat the bears.

on that day, the South Korean court approved an arrest warrant against Yoon Seok-yeol on charges of insurrection. It is reported that this is the first arrest warrant issued against a sitting president in the history of South Korean constitutional politics.
