For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid the $140 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $144 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Thursday’s high $142.97.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $145 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $150. The second major resistance level sits at $147.
A fall through the $140 pivot would bring the first major support level at $138 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should continue to steer clear of sub-$130 levels. The second major support level at $134 should limit the downside.
