For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move through the $261 pivot level and the 23.6% FIB of $262 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $282.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $280 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $289.80 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a bounce back, Litecoin could test resistance at $300. The second major resistance level sits at $311.
Failure to move through the $261 pivot level and the 23.6% FIB of $262 would bring the first major support level at $232 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of the 38.2% FIB of $217. The second major support level sits at $211.
