For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $202 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $206.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $205 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $208.23 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended rally, Litecoin could test resistance at $215 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $212.
Failure to move through the $202 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $196 and the 23.6% FIB of $195 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$190 support levels. The second major support level at $193 should limit the downside.
