For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $82.50 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $86.98.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $85 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $90 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $94.39.
Failure to move back through the $82.50 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $75.09 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the 38.2% FIB of $71. The second major support level sits at $70.61.
