It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. A move back through Monday's highs would signal a breakout...
Ethereum rose by 2.89% on Monday. Following a 5.83% rally on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,582.86.
A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to a late morning intraday low $2,461.63 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,363, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $2,609.02.
Coming up against the first major resistance level at $2,603, Ethereum eased back to end the day at $2,580 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.32% to $2,591.11. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,597.76 before falling to a low $2,572.2.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to avoid the $2,551 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,641 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Monday’s high $2,609.02.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,699.
A fall through the $2,551 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,493 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,400 levels. The second major support level at $2,404 should limit the downside.
First Major Support Level: $2,493
Pivot Level: $2,551
First Major Resistance Level: $2,641
23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $3,369

A bearish start to the day saw Litecoin fall to a late morning intraday low $166.33 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $161, Litecoin rallied to a late intraday high $180.18.
Litecoin broke through the 62% FIB of $174 and the first major resistance level at $176 to end the day at $180 levels.
At the time of writing, Litecoin was down by 0.49% to $179.13. A mixed start to the day saw Litecoin rise to an early morning high $180.70 before falling to a low $178.46.
Litecoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Litecoin would need to avoid the $176 pivot and the 62% FIB of $174 to bring the first major resistance level at $185 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from the morning high $180.70.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $190. The second major resistance level sits at $189.
A fall through the $175 pivot and the 62% FIB would bring the first major support level at $171 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$170 levels. The second major support level sits at $162.
A sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $174 would form a near-term bearish trend from 10th May’s swing hi $413.91.
First Major Support Level: $171
Pivot Level: $176
First Major Resistance Level: $185
23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $322

Ripple’s XRP broke through the first major resistance level at $0.9082 before falling back to sub-$0.90 levels.

Ripple’s XRP left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ripple’s XRP will need to move through the $0.8945 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $0.9252 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break back through to $0.92 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $0.92923 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another extended rally, Ripple’s XRP could test resistance at $1.00. The second major resistance level sits at $0.9599.
Failure to move through the $0.8945 pivot would bring the first major support level at $0.8598 and the 62% FIB of $0.8573 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ripple’s XRP should steer clear of sub-$0.80 levels. The second major support level at $0.8291 should limit the downside.
A sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $0.8573 would form a near-term bearish trend from 14th April’s swing hi $1.96598.
