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

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $131.56 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $137.10.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Monday’s high $136.62.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $140 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $148 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $142.16.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $131.56 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $126.5 and 38.2% FIB of $125 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$120 levels. The second major support level at $120.96 should limit the downside.
