For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the 23.6% FIB and the $265 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $281.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $275 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $283.69 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a bounce back, Litecoin could test resistance at $300 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $299.
Failure to move through the 23.6% FIB and the $265 pivot would bring the first major support level at $246 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$240 levels. The second major support level sits at $230.
