Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 15th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 9.71% on Friday. Reversing a 2.05% loss from Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $4,080.51.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $3,695.00 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $3,482 Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $4,177.77.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $4,006 before briefly easing back to sub-$4,000 levels.

A bullish end to the day, however, saw Ethereum break back through the first major resistance level to end the day at $4,080 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.85% to $4,115.14. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $4,067.97 before rising to a high $4,120.00.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $3,984 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,274 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s high $4,177.77.

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 $4,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $4,467.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $3,984 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,791 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,500 levels. The second major support level at $3,502 should limit the downside.
