For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move back through the first major resistance level to bring the second major resistance level at $45.18 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from the morning high $44.52.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and morning high would likely limit any upside.

Failure to move through the first major resistance level could see Litecoin struggle later in the day.

A fall back through to sub-$43.80 levels would bring the first major support level at $43.01 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear the second major support level at $42.34.
