Altcoins
Litecoin continues on bearish run; Zcash and BAT follow suit
March was bad for all the cryptocurrencies coins while April was a relief as several altcoins recorded significant gains. Starting May, however, coins like Litecoin, Zcash, and BAT are on a downward run, and, as per the price indicators, they might continue the bearish run for a couple more days.
Litecoin
Litecoin, the seventh coin as per Coinmarketcap, had a wild run throughout April and has continued the same pattern in May as well. The coin after recording a major loss in the second week of April with the price reaching as low as $39, saw a rise by 13% on April 21; the coin saw another rise on April 30 by 13%. However, this bull run did not last long. The coin moved downwards since the start of May and experienced a 13.6% drop on May 9. By the looks of it, the coin might continue on its downtrend in the coming days as confirmed by the CMF indicator.

On May 10, the coin saw a drop by 13% and is continuing the bearish run at the moment. The further drop is confirmed by the Awesome Oscillator.

Basic Attention Token
Basic Attention Token’s price fluctuations are no different. The coin has been on a downward run since April 29. However, the coin saw a 28% rise on May 9 only to drop again by 21%.

The RSI indicator rests at 45 hints at a potential ‘over-sold’ situation in the near future.
