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

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 1.05% on Wednesday. Following on from a 0.67% gain on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,824.74.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum slide to a mid-day intraday low $1,742.0 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,735, Ethereum rose to a late intraday high $1,841.13.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,848, Ethereum eased back to end the day at $1,820 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.40% to $1,832.07. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $1,823.48 before rising to a high $1,838.89.

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 $1,803 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,863.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $1,841.13.

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

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,950 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,902.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,803 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,764 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,700 levels. The second major support level at $1,704 should limit the downside.
