Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – January 30th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 3.47% on Friday. Following on from a 7.46% rally on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,379.87.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $1,286.56 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,248, Ethereum rallied to an early afternoon intraday high $1,442.88.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $1,391, before a late pullback.

Coming within range of the second major resistance level at $1,449, Ethereum slid to $1,332 levels and into the red.

Finding late support, however, Ethereum bounced back to $1,410 levels before ending the day at sub-$1,380 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.57% to $1,401.59. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise from an early morning low $1,379.61 to a high $1,402.72.

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 $1,370 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,453.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s high $1,442.88.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and swing hi $1,477.30 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $1,526.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,370 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,297 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,200 levels. The second major support level at $1,214 should limit the downside.
