For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $43.43 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $44.61.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $44 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s high $45.12 would likely cap any upside.
Failure to avoid a fall back through the $43.43 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $41.73 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$40 levels. The second major support level at $40.55 should limit any downside.
