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

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 3.64% on Thursday. Reversing a 0.65% gain from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,047.21.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $3,239.69 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,251, Ethereum fell to a late afternoon intraday low $2,980.00.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $3,098 and the second major support level at $3,034.

Finding late support, however, Ethereum broke back through the second major support level to end the day at $3,040 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.61% to $3,065.91. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $3,034.52 before rising to a high $3,074.78.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $3,089 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,198 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $3,150 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $3,239.69 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $3,369. The second major resistance level sits at $3,349.

Failure to move through the $3,089 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,938 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,900 levels. The second major support level sits at $2,829.
