Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 6th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $339 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $377.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Wednesday’s high $360.00.

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

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $400. The second major resistance level sits at $398.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $339 pivot would bring the first major support level at $318 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$300. The Second major support level sits at $280.
