For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $168 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $173 and the 62% FIB of $174 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $170 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the 62% FIB would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $180. The second major resistance level sits at $178.
Failure to move through the $168 pivot would bring the first major support level at $162 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $157.
A sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $174 would form a near-term bearish trend from 10th May’s swing hi $413.91.
