The majors find support early in the day. Resistance levels will come into play for the majors should they avoid their respective morning lows...
Bitcoin Cash ABC slipped by 0.11% on Friday. Following on from a 3.66% slide Thursday, Bitcoin Cash ABC ended the day at $279.51.
Another bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC slide to an early morning intraday low $270.93.
The early sell-off saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall through the first major support level at $272.97.
Finding support through the morning, Bitcoin Cash ABC recovered to a late morning high $280.37.
Range-bound through the afternoon, Bitcoin Cash ABC struck a late intraday high $281 before easing back to sub-$280 and into the red.
Steering clear of sub-$270 levels was key in the early hours of the day.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash ABC was down by 0.14% to $279.10. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash ABC fall to an early morning low $277.82.
Steering well clear of the major support levels, Bitcoin Cash ABC recovered to a morning high $279.1. Bitcoin Cash ABC came up short of the first major resistance level at $284.68 in the early hours.
For the day ahead, a move through to $280 levels would support a run at the first major resistance level at $284.68.
Bitcoin Cash ABC would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from $280.
Bitcoin Cash ABC would need a broad-based crypto rally to take a run at the second major resistance level at $289.84.
We would expect the second major resistance level to pin Bitcoin Cash ABC back in the event of a crypto rebound.
Failure to move through to $280 levels could see Bitcoin Cash ABC slide deeper into the red. A fall through to $277.80 would bring the first major support level at $272.64 into play.
Barring a crypto meltdown, Bitcoin Cash ABC should steer clear of the second major support level at $265.76.

Litecoin fell well short of the first major resistance level at $65.83 early on.
For the day ahead, a hold onto $64 levels would support another run at $65 levels and the first major resistance level.
Litecoin would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from this morning’s high $64.56.
Barring a crypto market rally, Thursday’s high $65.57 and the first major resistance level at $65.83 should limit any upside.
Failure to hold onto $64 levels could see Litecoin fall through the morning low to sub-$63 levels.
A visit to sub-$63 levels would bring the first major support level at $62.33 into play before any recovery.
We would expect Litecoin to steer clear of sub-$62 levels on the day.

Ripple’s XRP would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from this morning’s high $0.25840
Barring an extended crypto rally through the day, the second major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
Failure to move back through the first major resistance level at $0.2581 could lead to a fall back into the red.
