Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 31st, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 4.69% on Sunday. Reversing a 5.49% loss from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 13.72% to $2,387.66.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $2,182.2 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,134, Ethereum rallied to a late morning intraday high $2,480.69.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,501, Ethereum eased back to sub-$2,400 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.38% to $2,378.50. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $2,387.76 to a low $2,366.68.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $2,350 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,518 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Sunday’s high $2,480.69 levels.

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

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $2,740. The second major resistance level sits at $2,649.

A fall through the $2,350 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,220 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,000 levels. The second major support level at $2,052 should limit the downside.
