For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $75.15 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $77.20.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $77 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $77.64 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test the second major resistance level at $79.69 and resistance at $80.
Failure to move through the $75.15 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $72.66 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$70 levels. The second major support level at $70.61 and the 38.2% FIB of $71 should limit the downside.
