For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $171 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $177 and the 23.6% FIB of $178 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $175 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and 23.6% FIB would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $190 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at sits $186.
Failure to move through the $171 pivot would bring the first major support level at $162 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $156.
