Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – April 13th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 0.58% on Monday. Partially reversing a 0.82% gain from Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,138.03.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a mid-morning intraday high and a new swing hi $2,199.11 before hitting reverse.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $2,172 and the second major resistance level at $2,193.

Coming up against resistance at $2,200, Ethereum slid to a late afternoon intraday low $2,102.55.

The reversal saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level at $2,121 before ending the day at $2,138 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.21% to $2,142.50. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,135.90 before rising to a high $2,145.19.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the pivot level at $2,147 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2,191.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,190 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s new swing hi $2,199.11 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,300 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,243.

Failure to move through the $2,147 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,094 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$2,050 levels. The second major support level at $2,050 should limit the downside.
