Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – January 4th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $154.00 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $172.50.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Sunday’s high $164.98.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $175 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $190 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $183.48.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $154.00 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $143.02 into play before any recovery.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the 23.6% FIB of $132. The second major support level sits at $124.52.
