Litecoin

Litecoin rose by 0.39% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 2.68% slide from Saturday, Litecoin ended the week down by 4.80% to $43.41.

A bearish start to the day saw Litecoin slide to an early morning intraday low $42.88 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $42.75, Litecoin bounced back to a mid-afternoon intraday high $44.04.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $44.19, Litecoin fell back to $43.2 levels before finding late support to end the day in the green.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was down by 1.34% to $42.83. A bearish start to the day saw Litecoin slide from an early morning high $43.51 to a low $42.73.

For the day ahead

A move through the first major support level at $42.85 to $43.45 levels would support another day in the green.

Litecoin would need the support of the broader market, however, to take a run at the first major resistance level at $44.01.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $44.04 would likely limit any upside.

Failure to move through to $43.45 levels could see Litecoin slide deeper into the red.

A fall back through the morning low $42.73 would bring the second major support level at $42.28 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the third major support level at $41.12.
