Unusually high volume recent weeks,because of rising ltc, guess.
Nothing related to ltc here. This is simply not true. Pump and dump scheme never worked with this coin. Also, you are talking about the volume, not the value. The exact date that this scenario would happen has never been set, hence not a matter of concern yet. Maybe something to look into in the future.
An other ridiculous speculations could be regarding LTC and how ltc is coming close to their halving, again this sound as bad speculations but i would choose this before thinking inside trading scam on the team.
