For the day ahead
Litecoin should avoid a fall through the $ 73.00 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $ 77.66.
However, support from the broader market would be needed for Litecoin to break out of Wednesday’s high of $ 77.18.
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 $ 81.84.
Failure to avoid a fall through the pivot level of $ 73.00 would bring into play the 38.2% FIB of $ 71 and the first major support level at $ 68.82.
Barring another extended sell-off later in the day, however, Litecoin should avoid below $ 68. The second major support level is at $ 64.16.
