Bitcoin Cash – ABC, Litecoin and Ripple Daily Analysis – 22/08/19

Bitcoin Cash – ABC – Stumbles

Bitcoin Cash ABC slid by 3.64% on Wednesday. Following on from a 2.43% decline on Tuesday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the day at $304.

A particularly bearish morning saw Bitcoin Cash ABC tumble from an early morning intraday high $315.47 to a mid-day low $290.37.

The reversal saw Bitcoin Cash ABC slide through the first major support level at $310.42 and second major support level at $304.64.

Bitcoin Cash ABC failed to recover to $300 levels through the afternoon, which led to a second sell-off. The sell-off saw Bitcoin Cash ABC slide through the third major support level at $291.49 to an intraday low $289.

In spite of the meltdown, Bitcoin Cash ABC managed to close out the day at o $300 levels to avoid a 1st sub-$300 close since 23rd July.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC was down by 3.1% to $294.58. Another bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall from an early morning high $305.87 to a low $294.58.

In spite of the early pullback, Bitcoin Cash ABC steered clear of the major support levels early on.

For the day ahead, a move back through to $303 levels would signal a rebound later in the day.

Bitcoin Cash ABC would need the support of the broader market, however, to break through to $310 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, Bitcoin Cash ABC would likely come up short of the first major resistance level at $316.65.

Failure to move back through to $303 levels could see Bitcoin Cash ABC spend another day in the deep red.

A fall through the first major support level at $290.18 would bring the second major support level at $276.35 into play before any recovery.

Litecoin Does Better than Most

Tracking the broader market through the morning, Litecoin slid from an early intraday high $75.35 to a mid-day intraday low $70.

The sell-off saw Litecoin fall through the first major support level at $73.11 and second major support level at $71.12.

Finding support at the 62% FIB of $70, Litecoin bounced back to $74 levels late in the day before falling back $73 levels.

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

For the day ahead, a move back through to $72.90 levels would signal a run at the first major resistance level at $75.69.

Litecoin would need the support of the broader market, however, to move back through the morning high $73.85.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, Litecoin would likely struggle to break back through to $75 levels.

Failure to move through to $72.90 levels could see Litecoin take another hit. A fall through the morning low $70.9 would bring the first major support level at $70.3 and 62% FIB of $70 into play.

Barring another crypto meltdown, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $67.50.
