For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $166 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $171 and the 62% FIB of $174 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $165 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and the 62% FIB would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $190. The second major resistance level sits at $179.
Failure to move through the $166 pivot would bring the first major support level at $158 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$150 levels. The second major support level at $153 should limit the downside.
A sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $174 would form a near-term bearish trend from 10th May’s swing hi $413.91.
