Key numbers
over 3117 daily candles
How each of these is computed: regression spread, hedge ratio, spread z-score, half-life, correlation.
What the numbers say
The legs move closely together — correlation of daily log returns is 0.73. The fitted hedge ratio is 1.82, meaning roughly 1.82 units of LTC exposure balance one unit of ADA.
The spread is at -1.26 standard deviations from its rolling mean: away from the norm, but not far enough to call it stretched.
Reversion is slow: the spread needs roughly 217 days to cover half the way back to its mean. A position would have to be held for a long time.
The current ratio sits near the bottom of its range — only 18% of the way from the low to the high of the last 3117 daily candles.
When this happened before
Divergences over 2938 candles: 20. Closed by a return to the norm: 19. The median return took 49 days, the longest one 197 days.
The last closed one ran from 18.07.2026 to 31.07.2026, 13 days: peak z = -2.76, LTC was expensive against ADA.
One is running right now: it started on 05.09.2026, has lasted 53 days, peak z = -5.75, LTC was expensive against ADA. It has not returned to the norm yet.
For a holder this answers not “what to do” but “how long it usually took”: the median return is 49 days. That is no guarantee — past divergences closed, this one may not.
| Period | Expensive leg | Peak z | Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18.07.2026 — 31.07.2026 | LTC | -2.76 | 13 d |
| 05.02.2026 — 14.04.2026 | ADA | 2.49 | 68 d |
| 07.11.2025 — 11.01.2026 | LTC | -3.07 | 65 d |
| 09.10.2025 — 11.10.2025 | LTC | -2.16 | 2 d |
| 30.01.2025 — 02.03.2025 | LTC | -3.34 | 31 d |
A divergence here is the spread z-score leaving ±2σ; the return is the first value back inside ±0.5σ. Two thresholds rather than one: otherwise chatter right at the border would count as a dozen separate divergences. The first bars of the window are skipped — there z is computed on partial history.
Frequently asked
How many LTC is 1 ADA?
1 ADA is worth 0.0034776 LTC at the latest exchange quotes. The figure is the ratio of the two USDT prices and updates every minute.
What is the ADA/LTC range?
Over the last 3117 daily candles the ratio traded between 0.000545097 (05.08.2019) and 0.0167128 (27.08.2021).
Are ADA and LTC correlated?
The correlation of daily log returns between ADA and LTC is 0.73, which counts as a strong link. Log returns are used rather than prices: two rising assets correlate almost by default, joint day-to-day movement is what matters.
What is the ADA/LTC spread z-score now?
The z-score is -1.26 — the spread is within its usual range. It measures how far the regression residual log(A) − β·log(B) sits from its rolling mean, in standard deviations.
Is ADA/LTC suitable for a pair trade?
The mechanics hold up: correlation is 0.73 and the spread historically covers half the way back to its mean in about 217 days. That is a description of past behaviour, not a forecast or a recommendation.
How often do ADA and LTC diverge?
Over 2938 daily candles the spread left ±2σ 20 times. The median return to the norm took 49 days.
