For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid the $171 pivot to bring the 23.6% FIB of $178 and the first major resistance level at $180 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back out from the 23.6% FIB.
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 $190 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at sits $185.
A fall through the $171 pivot would bring the first major support level at $167 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$160 levels. The second major support level sits at $158.
