Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – January 16th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $143.1 pivot level to support a run at the 23.6% FIB of $148 and the first major resistance level at $155.9.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Friday’s high $155.30.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $160 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $170. The second major resistance level at $168.1.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $143.1 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $138.9 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should avoid the second major support level at $118.1. The 23.6% FIB of $125 should limit any downside.
