For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $140 pivot level and the 23.6% FIB of $148 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $170.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $160 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the 23.6% FIB of $148 and resistance at $150 would likely leave Litecoin short of the first major resistance level.
In the event of an extended breakout, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. The second major resistance level sits at $200.
Failure to move through the $140 pivot level would bring the 38.2% FIB of $125 and the first major support level at $110 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$100 levels and the 62% FIB of $87. The second major support level sits at $81.
