For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move back through to $40 levels to support a run the first major resistance level at $41.03.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to breakout out from the morning high $39.30.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $40 would likely leave Litecoin short of the first major resistance level.

Failure to move through to $40 levels could see Litecoin struggle throughout the day.

A fall back through the first major support level at $38.35 would bring sub-$38 levels into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $37.39.
