For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the 23.6% FIB and the $54.05 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $55.84.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $55 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $55.81 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Litecoin would likely test the second major resistance level at $57.59 before any pullback.
Failure to move through the 23.6% FIB and the $54.05 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $52.30 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$50 levels. The second major support level at $50.51 should limit any downside.
