For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $180 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $197 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $195 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $200 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $210. The second major resistance level sits at $205.
A fall through the $180 pivot would bring the 62% FIB of $174 and the first major support level at $172 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$170. The second major support level sits at $155.
A sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $174 would form a near-term bearish trend from 10th May’s swing hi $413.91.
