Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – February 15th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 0.77% on Sunday. Following a 1.45% fall from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 11.65% to $1,803.75.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a mid-morning intraday high $1,852.47 before hitting reverse.

Coming up short of the first major resistance level at $1,875, Ethereum fell to a mid-afternoon intraday low $1,785.07.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,764, Ethereum revisited $1,830 levels before easing back.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.32% to $1,809.50. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise from an early morning low $1,803.25 to a high $1,814.00.

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 $1,814 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,843.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,840 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at Saturday’s swing hi $1,877.88 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,900 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,881.

Failure to move through the $1,814 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,775 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$1,700 levels. The second major support level at $1,746 should limit the downside.
