Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – December 17th, 2020

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $88.25 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $98.07.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $95 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and the 62% FIB of $100 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended breakout, Litecoin could resistance at $105 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $103.12.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $88.25 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $83.20 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$80 support levels. The second major support level sits at $73.38.
