Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – January 14th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 7.65% on Wednesday. Reversing a 3.56% loss from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,130.80.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $980.00 before making a move.

Finding support at the first major support level at $988, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $1,137.75.

Ethereum broke through the 23.6% FIB of $1,051 to wrap up the day at $1,120 levels. The first major resistance level at $1,131 pinned Ethereum back late in the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.30% to $1,145.48. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise from an early morning low $1,130.44 to a high $1,145.76.

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 $1,083 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,186.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $1,150 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance $1,200 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,350 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,241.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,083 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $1,051 and the first major support level at $1,028 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $925.
