Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – March 4th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 5.34% on Wednesday. Reversing a 5.31% slide from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,567.86.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $1,476.72 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,428, Ethereum rallied to a mid-day intraday high $1,657.91.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $1,578 to come within range of the second major resistance level at $1,668.

The morning rally also saw Ethereum break through the 23.6% FIB of $1,579.

Falling short of $1,700, Ethereum fell back through the first major resistance level and the 23.6% FIB to sub-$1,570 levels.

A late rally, however, saw Ethereum briefly break back through the first major resistance level and the 23.6% FIB before ending the day at sub-$1,570 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.58% to $1,576.88. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $1,555.00 before rising to a high $1,577.40.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the Ethereum pivot level at $1,568 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,658.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from the 23.6% FIB of $1,579.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $1,700 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,800 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,749.

Failure to avoid a fall through 23.6% FIB and the $1,568 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,477 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,400 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,386.
