Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 12th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 5.83% on Tuesday. Following a 0.54% gain on Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $4,179.76.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $4,032.86 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $4,223, Ethereum fell to an early morning intraday low $3,760.00.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $3,667, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $4,183.25 before easing back.

In spite of the rebound, Ethereum continued to fall short of the first major resistance level at $4,223.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.12% to $4,184.83. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $4,155.00 before rising to a high $4,193.20.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $4,041 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,322 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Monday’s swing hi $4,213.85.

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

In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $4,464 and resistance at $4,500.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $4,041 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,899 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,800 levels. The second major support level sits at $3,618.
