For the day ahead
Litecoin should avoid a fall through the $ 74.98 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $ 78.47.
However, support from the broader market would be needed for Litecoin to break out of Tuesday’s high of $ 77.04.
Barring another extended cryptocurrency rally, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.
In the event of another sustained breakout, Litecoin would likely test resistance at $ 80 before any pullback. The second major resistance level is found at $ 80.54.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $ 74.98 pivot level would bring into play the first major support level at $ 72.91 and 38.2% FIB of 71.
Barring an extended sell-off later in the day, however, Litecoin should avoid exceeding $ 70. The second major support level is found at $ 69.42.
