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

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall back through the first major resistance level at $329 to support a run at the second major resistance level at $353.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from this morning’s high $342.00.

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

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $360. The third major resistance level sits at $405.

Failure to avoid a fall through the first major resistance level at $329 would bring the pivot and sub-$300 levels into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$290 and the first major support level at $277
