Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – August 18th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move through the $174 pivot to bring 23.6% FIB of $178 and the first major resistance level at $179 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $175 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $184.45 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 $190.

Failure to move through the $174 pivot would bring the first major support level at $163 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$160 levels. The second major support level sits at $157.
