For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $46.75 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $48.00.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Thursday’s high $47.49.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test the second major resistance level at $48.74.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $46.75 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $46.01 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$45 levels. The second major support level sits at $44.76.
