Bitcoin Cash – ABC – Avoids another Tumble

Bitcoin Cash ABC rose by 0.71% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 3.23% slide on Saturday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the week up 7.22% at $215.52.

A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC slide to a late morning intraday low $209.95 before finding support.

Bitcoin Cash ABC fell through the first major support level at $212.75. Bitcoin Cash ABC came within range of the second major support level at $209.28 before making a move.

The bounce-back saw Bitcoin Cash ABC rise to an early afternoon intraday high $217.11 before easing back to $215 levels.

In spite of the early afternoon rebound, Bitcoin Cash ABC came up short of the first major resistance level at $221.94.

For the day ahead, Bitcoin Cash ABC would need to steer clear of sub-$214.20 levels to support further gains.

A move through Sunday’s high $217.11 would bring the first major resistance level at $218.44 into play.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, however, Bitcoin Cash ABC would likely fall short of $220 for a 2nd consecutive day.

Failure to steer clear of sub-$214.2 levels would bring the first major support level at $211.28 into play before any recovery.

Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin Cash ABC should steer clear of the second major support level at $207.03.

Litecoin Finds Support

Litecoin rose by 1.29% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 2.86% slide from Saturday, Litecoin ended the week up by 8.90% to $47.85.

A particularly bearish start to the day saw Litecoin slide to an early morning intraday low $45.51 before finding support.

Litecoin fell through the first major support level at $46.37 to come within range of the second major support level at $45.48.

Recovering through the late morning, Litecoin struck an early afternoon intraday high $48.44.

Coming up against the first major resistance level at $48.49, Litecoin slipped back to $47 levels.

Support late in the day, however, delivered the upside on the day.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was down by 0.21% to $47.40. A mixed start to the day saw Litecoin fall from an early morning high $47.64 to a low $47.07 before finding support.

Litecoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high $47.64 would bring the first major resistance level at $49.02 into play.

Litecoin would need the support of the broader market to break out from Sunday’s high $48.44.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, however, Litecoin would likely come up short of $49 levels on the day.

Failure to move back through the morning high could see Litecoin slide deeper into the red.

A fall through to $47.20 levels would bring the first major support level at $46.37 into play before any recovery.

Barring an extended sell-off through the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$45 support levels.
