Key numbers
over 3242 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 0.79. The fitted hedge ratio is 1.12, meaning roughly 1.12 units of LTC exposure balance one unit of ETH.
The spread is at -0.24 standard deviations from its rolling mean, which is effectively at its own norm.
Reversion is slow: the spread needs roughly 755 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 mid-range — 78% of the way from the low to the high of the last 3242 daily candles.
When this happened before
Divergences over 3063 candles: 17. Closed by a return to the norm: 17. The median return took 72 days, the longest one 263 days.
The last closed one ran from 25.09.2026 to 14.10.2026, 19 days: peak z = -2.10, LTC was expensive against ETH.
For a holder this answers not “what to do” but “how long it usually took”: the median return is 72 days. That is no guarantee — past divergences closed, this one may not.
| Period | Expensive leg | Peak z | Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25.09.2026 — 14.10.2026 | LTC | -2.10 | 19 d |
| 14.08.2026 — 23.09.2026 | ETH | 3.87 | 40 d |
| 14.01.2026 — 03.02.2026 | ETH | 2.73 | 20 d |
| 16.07.2025 — 09.10.2025 | ETH | 2.20 | 85 d |
| 16.11.2024 — 08.05.2025 | LTC | -4.05 | 173 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 ETH?
1 ETH is worth 40.0553 LTC at the latest exchange quotes. The figure is the ratio of the two USDT prices and updates every minute.
What is the ETH/LTC range?
Over the last 3242 daily candles the ratio traded between 1.77127 (06.04.2019) and 50.7922 (27.08.2026).
Are ETH and LTC correlated?
The correlation of daily log returns between ETH and LTC is 0.79, 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 ETH/LTC spread z-score now?
The z-score is -0.24 — 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 ETH/LTC suitable for a pair trade?
The mechanics hold up: correlation is 0.79 and the spread historically covers half the way back to its mean in about 755 days. That is a description of past behaviour, not a forecast or a recommendation.
How often do ETH and LTC diverge?
Over 3063 daily candles the spread left ±2σ 17 times. The median return to the norm took 72 days.
