For the day ahead
Litecoin is expected to break above the 38.2% FIB and pivot of $ 72.89 to support a run to the first major resistance level at $ 81.48.
However, support from the broader market would be required for Litecoin to exceed $ 75.
Barring another extended cryptocurrency rally, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.
In the event of a sustained breakout, Litecoin would likely test resistance at $ 85 before any pullback. The second major resistance level is found at $ 91.85.
Failure to move to the pivot level of $ 72.89 would bring the first major support level at $ 62.52 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off later in the day, however, Litecoin should avoid the sub $ 60 levels. The second major support level is found at $ 53.93.
