A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall to an early morning low $222.2 before recovering to $225 levels.
Bitcoin Cash ABC steered clear of the major support and resistance levels ahead of an afternoon broad-based crypto sell-off.
The sell-off saw Bitcoin Cash ABC slide to a late afternoon intraday low and new swing lo $203. Bitcoin Cash ABC fell through the first major support level at $218.33 and second major support level at $208.85.

Bitcoin Cash ABC left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead, a move through to $214.5 levels would support a run at $220 levels later in the day.
Bitcoin Cash ABC would need the support of the broader market, however, to test the first major resistance level at $225.83.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rebound, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $225.54 would likely limit any upside.
Failure to move through to $214.5 levels would see Bitcoin Cash ABC spend an 8th consecutive day in the red.
A fall through to sub-$210 levels would bring the first major support level at $203.29 into play.
Barring a crypto meltdown, Bitcoin Cash ABC should steer clear of the second major support level at $191.88.

Litecoin would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from this morning’s high $55.45.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Thursday’s high $57.63 would likely cap any upside on the day.
Failure to move back through to $55 levels could see Litecoin test the first major support level at $51.1 before any recovery.

Barring a crypto rebound later in the day, we would expect Ripple’s XRP to come up short of Thursday’s high $0.25073.
Failure to move through to $0.2450 levels could see Ripple’s XRP fall further back into the red.
