Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 20th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 3.55% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 2.65% slide from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,878.17.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $3,731.22 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $3,650, Ethereum rallied to a final hour intraday high $3,890.36.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $3,868 to end the day at $3,878 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.18% to $3,885.19. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $3,900.00 before falling to a low $3,877.77.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,833 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,935 play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $3,900 levels.

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 the second major resistance level at $3,992.

A fall through the $3,833 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,776 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,600 levels. The second major support level at $3,674 should limit the downside.
