Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 17th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move through the $300 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $320 and the 23.6% FIB of $322 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $310 levels.

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 $350. The second major resistance level sits at $345.

Failure to move through the $300 pivot would bring the first major support level at $276 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the 38.2% FIB of $265. The Second major support level sits at $255.
