Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 14th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 2.05% on Thursday. Following on from an 8.45% decline on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,719.23.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum slide to an early morning intraday low $3,530.89 before finding support.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $3,556 before striking an early morning intraday high $4,055.62.

Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $4,241, however, Ethereum slid to a late afternoon low $3,545.00.

Ethereum fell back through the first major support level at $3,556 before a late move back through to $3,700 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.82% to $3,786.80. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $3,695.00 before rising to a high $3,788.65.

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 $3,769 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,006 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $4,000 levels.

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 Wednesday’s new swing hi $4,384.30 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $4,293.

Failure to avoid a fall back through the $3,769 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,482 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $3,244. The 23.6% FIB of $3,369 should limit the downside.
