For the day ahead
Litecoin should slide back through the $ 69.35 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $ 73.43.
However, support from the broader market would be needed for Litecoin to exceed the 38.2% FIB of $ 71.
Barring an extended cryptocurrency rally, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.
In the event of a sustained breakout, Litecoin will likely test the second major resistance level at $ 77.65.
Failure to return to the pivot level of $ 69.35 would bring the first major support level at $ 65.13 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off later in the day, however, Litecoin should avoid the sub $ 60 levels. The second major support level at $ 61.05 should limit any downside.
