Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – June 18th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.21% on Thursday. Following a 6.91% slide on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,373.33.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a mid-morning intraday high $2,459.53 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,498, Ethereum slid to a late afternoon intraday low $2,306.35.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,294, however, Ethereum move back through to $2,370 levels, reversing losses from the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.38% to $2,364.24. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $2,373.69 to a low $2,364.00.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $2,380 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,453 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,450 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $2,459.53 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,600 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,533.

Failure to move through the $2,380 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,300 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,200 levels. The second major support level at $2,227 should limit the downside.
