Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – August 27th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 4.19% on Thursday. Reversing a 1.82% gain from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,093.20.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $3,251.05 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,292, Ethereum slid to a mid-day intraday low $3,056.00.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $3,123 before a recovery to $3,140 levels.

A bearish end to the day, however, saw Ethereum fall back through the first major support level to end the day at sub-$3,100 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.01% to $3,092.81. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $3,050.00 before rising to a high $3,145.55.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the $3,133 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,211 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 $3,251.05 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $3,369. The second major resistance level sits at $3,329.

Failure to move back through the $3,133 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,016 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $2,938.
