For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $255 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $261.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $260 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $262.98 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended rally, Litecoin could test the second major resistance level at $270.
Failure to move through the $255 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $246 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, Litecoin should continue to steer well clear of the second major support level at $240.
