Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 17th, 2020

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move through the $47.72 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $49.81.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $49 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $49.9 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin would likely test resistance at $51 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $51.98.

Failure to move through the $47.72 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $45.55 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $43.46.
