For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $49.84 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $50.82.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $50.72.
Barring an extended crypto rally, Tuesday’s high and the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another breakout, Litecoin would likely test the second major resistance level at $51.70. Resistance at $52 would likely cap any upside, however.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $49.84 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $48.96 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $47.98.
