Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – March 23rd, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 5.78% on Monday. Following on from a 1.22% loss on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,681.02.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum slide to an early morning low $1,754.25 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,749, Ethereum struck a late morning intraday high $1,806.39.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,819, Ethereum tumbled to a late intraday low $1,657.17.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $1,749 and the second major support level at $1,713.

Steering clear of the third major support level at $1,643, Ethereum revisited $1,700 levels before ending the day at sub-$1,700.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.18% to $1,678.04. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,686.26 before falling to a low $1,668.54.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the pivot level at $1,715 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,773.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $1,750 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $1,806.39 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,900 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,864.

Failure to move through the $1,715 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,623 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the 23.6% FIB of $1,579 and the second major support level at $1,566.
