For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $170 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $174 and the 23.6% FIB of $178 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from the $170.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and 23.6% FIB of $178 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $185 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at sits $180.
Failure to move through the $170 pivot would bring the first major support level at $164 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$160 levels. The second major support level at $160 should limit the downside.
