Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – August 30th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move through the $177 pivot to bring the 23.6% FIB of $178 and the first major resistance level at $180 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from the 23.6% FIB.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $182.75 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $190 before any pullback. The second major resistance level at sits $186.

Failure to move through the $177 pivot would bring the first major support level at $171 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$170 levels. The second major support level sits at $167.
