Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 20th, 2020

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.21% on Monday. Following on from a 2.74% rally on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $379.36.

It was a bearish start to the day. Ethereum fell to an early morning intraday low $372.89 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $371.03, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $384.69.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $382.41 before a pullback to $376 levels and into the red.

Finding late support, however, Ethereum moved back through to $379 levels to end the day in the green.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.09% to $379.00.  A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $379.65 before falling to a low $379.00.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $378.98 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $385.07.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Monday’s high $384.69.

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

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $390.78 before any pullback.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $378.98 pivot would bring the first major support level at $373.27 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the 38.2% FIB of $367 and the second major support level at $367.18.

Pivot Level: $378.98

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Monday’s high $48.48.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $49 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin would likely test resistance at $50 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $49.58.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $47.70 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $46.92 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer well clear of the second major support level at $45.82.
