Litecoin fell through the first major support level at $56.76 and the second major support level at $55.20.

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move through the $55.41 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $58.41.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from the 23.6% FIB of $54.0.

Barring another crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $59.70 would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move through the $55.41 pivot would bring the first major support level at $51.12 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$50 levels. The second major support level sits at $48.12.
