Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – August 16th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid the $182 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $189 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from this morning’s high $187.63.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $190 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $200 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at sits $193.

A fall through the $182 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $178 and the first major support level at $178 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$170 levels. The second major support level at $171 should limit the downside.
