For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $180 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $186 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $185 levels
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $187.03 would likely cap the upside.
In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $200 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $193.
Failure to move through the $180 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $178 and the first major support level at $172 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$165. The second major support level at $166 should limit the downside.
