For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid the $170 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 Wednesday’s high $176.10.
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 $182.
A fall through the $170 pivot would bring the first major support level at $165 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $159.
