Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 20th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move through the $211 pivot to bring the 38.2% FIB of $265 and the first major resistance level at $276 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $250 levels.

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 $300. The second major resistance level sits at $365.

Failure to move through the $211 pivot would bring the 62% FIB of $174 and the first major support level at $122 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$100 levels. The second major support level sits at $56.81.

A sustained fall through the 62% FIB would form a near-term bearish trend from 10th May’s swing hi $413.91.
