Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – December 18th, 2020

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move back through the $100.54 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $110.63.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $110 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $110.00 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended breakout, Litecoin could resistance at $120 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $120.10.

Litecoin would need to hold above the 62% FIB on the day to affirm the formation of a near-term bullish trend.

Failure to move back through the $100.54 pivot level would bring the 62% FIB and the first major support level at $91.07 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$90 support levels. The second major support level sits at $80.98.
