Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 5th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 0.95% on Monday. Partially reversing a 0.93% gain from Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,387.20.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to a mid-afternoon intraday low $3,269.67 before making a move.

Ethereum fell through the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 and the first major support level at $3,346.

Finding afternoon support, however, Ethereum rose to a late afternoon intraday high $3,438.91.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,492, however, Ethereum briefly fell back through the 23.6% FIB.

A late move back through to $3,380 levels limited the downside on the day, however.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.34% to $3,375.78. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $3,395.60 before falling to a low $3,365.34

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 and the $3,365 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,461 play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Monday’s high $3,438.91.

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 $3,600 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,535.

A fall back through the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 and the $3,365 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,292 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,200 levels. The second major support level sits at $3,196.
