For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $151.26 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $157.18.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $157 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $157.49 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $165 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $163.42.
Failure to avoid a fall back through the $151.26 pivot level would bring the 23.6% FIB of $148 and the first major support level at $145.02 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$140 levels. The second major support level sits at $139.10.
