For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid the $162 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $173 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $170 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap the upside.
In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $178 and the second major resistance level at $179.
A fall through the $162 pivot would bring the first major support level at $156 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$150. The second major support level sits at $145.
