Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 4th, 2021

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $288 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $307.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Monday’s high $299.71.

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

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $320. The second major resistance level sits at $319.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $288 pivot level would bring the first majors support level at $276 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$270 levels and the 23.6% FIB of $262. The second major support level sits at $257.
