For the day ahead
Litecoin should avoid a fall through the $ 78.89 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $ 86.25.
However, support from the broader market would be needed for Litecoin to break out of Thursday’s high of $ 83.50.
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 $ 90 before any pullback. The second major resistance level is found at $ 90.86.
Failure to avoid a downside through the pivot level of $ 78.89 would bring the first major support level at $ 74.28 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off later in the day, however, Litecoin should avoid exceeding $ 70. The 38.2% FIB of $ 71 should limit any downside.
