Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – December 26th, 2020

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 2.37% on Friday. Following on from a 4.60% rally on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $626.75.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $604.26 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $580.26 Ethereum rallied to a late morning intraday high $633.97.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $629.64 before sliding back to $606 levels.

Finding late support, however, Ethereum moved back through to $626 levels to deliver the upside on the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.43% to $624.04. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $628.86 before falling to a low $623.70.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $621.66 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $639.06.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s high $633.97.

Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $640 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $660 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $651.37.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $621.66 pivot would bring the first major support level at $609.35 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$600 levels. The second major support level sits at $591.95.

In the event of another extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $155 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $141.78.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $121.48 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $114.43 into play.
