Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – January 18th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $142.0 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $147.8 and the 23.6% FIB of $148.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Sunday’s high $147.00.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and 23.6% FIB would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $160. The second major resistance level at $152.74.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $142.0 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $137.1 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should avoid the 38.2% FIB of $125. The second major support level at $131.3 should limit any downside.
