Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 21st, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid the $204 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $240 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Thursday’s high $232.99.

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

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $265. The second major resistance level sits at $270.

Failure to avoid the $204 pivot would bring the 62% FIB of $174 and the first major support level at $174 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$170 levels. The second major support level sits at $138.
