Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 10th, 2020

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 4.04% on Friday. Following on from a 2.79% gain on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $365.36.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to a mid-morning intraday low $347.15 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $339.25 Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon high $366.50.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $358.3 and the second major resistance level at $365.34.

A late pullback saw Ethereum briefly fall back through the second major resistance level before hitting a late intraday high $368.55.

The late rally saw Ethereum break through the 38.2% FIB of $367 before easing back to wrap up the day at $365 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.01% to $365.31. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $365.02 before rising to a high $365.87.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $360.35 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $373.56.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s high $368.55.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $380 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $381.75.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $360.35 pivot would bring the first major support level at $352.16 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to avoid sub-$350 levels. The second major support level sits at $338.95.
