Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – August 5th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid the $141 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $146 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to back through to $145 levels.

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

In the event of another extended breakout, Litecoin could test the second major resistance level at $150.

A fall through the $141 pivot would bring the first major support level at $137 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should continue to steer clear of sub-$135 levels. The second major support level sits at $132.
