Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – February 20th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $232.93 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $245.75.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Friday’s swing hi $241.99.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $250 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $260 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $254.82.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $232.93 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $223.86 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$220 levels. The second major support level sits at $211.04.
