For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid the $181 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $187 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $185 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $195 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at sits $191.
A fall through the $181 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $178 and the first major support level at $177 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$170 levels. The second major support level at $171 should limit the downside.
