For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move back through the $167 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $172 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $170 levels
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap the upside.
In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $178. The second major resistance level sits at $176.
Failure to move back through the $167 pivot would bring the first major support level at $162 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$160. The second major support level sits at $157.
