For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid the $239 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $257.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $250 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $262 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a bounce back, Litecoin could test resistance at $270. The second major resistance level sits at $266.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $239 pivot level would bring the first majors support level at $230 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $212. The 38.2% FIB of $217 should limit the downside.
