Bitcoin Cash – ABC, Litecoin and Ripple Daily Analysis – 19/08/19

Bitcoin Cash – ABC – Sees more Red

Bitcoin Cash ABC gained 3.78% on Sunday. Reversing a 1.33% fall from Saturday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the day at $318.25.

A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall to an early morning intraday low $303.36 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $299.56, Bitcoin Cash ABC bounced back to a late afternoon intraday high $324.08.

Driven by a broad-based crypto rally, Bitcoin Cash ABC broke through the first major resistance level at $310.77 and second major resistance level at $316.64.

A bearish end to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall back to sub-$320 levels.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC was down by 0.69% to $316.05. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall from an early morning high $318.25 to a low $312.82.

Bitcoin Cash ABC left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead, steering clear of $315.20 levels would support a run at Sunday’s high $324.08.

Bitcoin Cash ABC would need the support of the broader market, however, to break through to $320 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Bitcoin Cash ABC would likely come up short of the first major resistance level at $327.10.

Failure to hold above $315.20 could see Bitcoin Cash ABC slide back to sub-$310 levels before any recovery.

Barring a crypto meltdown, the first major support level at $306.38 should limit the downside on the day.

Finding the support of the broader market, Litecoin broke through the first major resistance level at $74.89 and second major resistance level at $77.07.

A broad-based crypto pullback late on left Litecoin back at $76 levels at the day end.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was up by 0.33% to $76.59. A bullish start to the day saw Litecoin rise from an early morning low $75.72 to a high $76.67 before easing back.

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

For the day ahead, a move through Sunday’s high $78.18 would support a run at the first major resistance level at $79.23.

Litecoin would need the support of the broader market, however, to break through to $77 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Litecoin would likely fall short of $80 levels for a 5th consecutive day.

Failure to move through Sunday’s high $78.18 could see Litecoin hit reverse. A fall through the morning low $75.72 to $75.20 levels would bring the first major support level at $72.4 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, Litecoin should steer well clear of the 62% FIB of $70.
