For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $180 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $188.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from this morning’s high $184.61.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $190 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended rally, Litecoin could test resistance at 23.6% FIB of $195 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $192.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $180 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $176 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$170 levels. The second major support level sits at $167.
