For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $139 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $143 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $140 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $144.43 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $150. The second major resistance level sits at $149.
Failure to move through the $139 pivot would bring the first major support level at $133 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$130 levels. The second major support level sits at $128.
