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

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 5.08% on Thursday. Following a 3.38% gain on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,791.66.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early intraday low $3,588.55 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $3,476, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $3,828.84.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $3,678 and the second major resistance level at $3,747.

A late pullback saw Ethereum briefly fall back through the second major resistance level before wrapping up the day at $3,790 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.45% to $3,774.66. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $3,799.24 before falling to a low $3,765.00.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,736 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,884 play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Thursday’s high $3,828.84.

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

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $4,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,977.

A fall through the $3,736 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,644 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,400 levels. The second major support level at $3,496 should limit the downside.
