For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $148.20 pivot level and the 23.6% FIB of $148 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $157.87.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $155 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $170. The second major resistance level sits at $165.97.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $148.20 pivot level and the 23.6% FIB of $148 would bring the first major support level at $140.10 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $130.43.
