It's back in the red for the majors. Failure to move back through to key levels could weigh heavily on the day.
Bitcoin Cash ABC rose by 0.74% on Thursday. Following on from a 2.39% gain on Wednesday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the day at $303.22.
A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC rise to an early morning intraday high $311.26 before hitting reverse.
Coming within range of the first major resistance level at $311.81, Bitcoin Cash ABC fell to a late intraday low $294.72.

Whilst steering clear of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin Cash ABC tested the first major support level at $294.88 early.
For the day ahead, a move through the morning high $301 to $303 levels would support a run at the first major resistance level at $311.41.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $311.25 would limit any upside.
Failure to move back through the morning high to $303 levels would see Bitcoin Cash ABC struggle through the day.
A fall back through the first major support level at $294.88 would bring sub-$290 levels into play before any recovery.
Barring an extended sell-off through the day, Bitcoin Cash ABC should steer clear of the second major support level at $286.53.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high to $93.80 levels would support a run at the first major resistance level at $96.39.
Litecoin would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from $93 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Thursday’s high $96.85 and the first major resistance level at $96.39 should limit any upside.
Failure to move through the morning high to $93.8 levels would see Litecoin struggle on the day. A fall back through the morning low would bring the second major support level at $88.02 into play.
Barring a crypto meltdown, the second major support level should limit any downside on the day.

Failure to move through the morning high to $0.31650 levels would see Ripple’s XRP struggle on the day.
A fall back through the first major support level at $0.3088 would bring the second major support level at $0.3041 into play.
