For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid the $164 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $170 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $168.42.
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 the 23.6% FIB of $178 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at sits $174.
A fall through the $164 pivot would bring the first major support level at $160 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $155.
