Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – March 20th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 1.86% on Friday. Partially reversing a 2.63% loss from Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,809.38.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum slide to an early morning intraday low $1,734.29.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $1,740 before rallying to a late intraday high $1,840.69.

The rally saw Ethereum break through the first major resistance level at $1,832 before falling back to sub-$1,810 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.41% to $1,802.01. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $1,812.58 before falling to a low $1,801.29.

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 $1,795 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,855.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s high $1,840.69.

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 $1,901.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,795 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,749 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,700 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,688.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $204.95 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended rally, Litecoin could test resistance at $215 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $209.

Failure to move back through the $200 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $196 and the 23.6% FIB of $195 into play.
