For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $49.57 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $50.27.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $50 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $50.26 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another breakout, Litecoin would likely test the second major resistance level at $50.95. Resistance at $51 would likely cap any upside, however.
Failure to move through the $49.57 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $48.89 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $48.19.
