For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $47.55 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $48.49.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Friday’s high $48.22.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another breakout, Litecoin would likely test resistance at $49 and the second major resistance level at $49.16.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $47.55 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $46.88 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$46 levels. The second major support level sits at $45.94.
