Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – January 2nd, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move through the $127.98 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $132.77.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $130 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $134.22 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $140 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $139.01.

Failure to move through the $127.98 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $121.74 into play before any recovery.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $116.95.
