Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 24th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $146 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $174 and the 62% FIB of $174 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $150 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and the 62% FIB would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $190. The second major resistance level sits at $205.

Failure to avoid a fall back through the $146 pivot would bring the first major support level at $115 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$100 levels. The second major support level sits at $87.

A sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $174 would form a near-term bearish trend from 10th May’s swing hi $413.91.
