Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 3rd, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $271 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $276.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out $275 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $280 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $290. The second major resistance level sits at $283.

Failure to avoid a fall back through the $271 pivot level would bring the first majors support level at $264 and the 23.6% FIB of $262 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$260 levels. The second major support level sits at $258.
