Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 6th, 2020

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.37% on Monday. Following on from a 1.82% gain from Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $353.73.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $356.12 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $356.53, Ethereum slid to a mid-morning intraday low $348.69.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $346.26, Ethereum recovered to an afternoon high $354.41.

Coming up short of the morning high, Ethereum fell back to sub-$350 levels before a late recovery to $353 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.17% to $354.33. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise from an early morning low $353.82 to a high $355.33.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $352.85 pivot to support another run at the first major resistance level at $357.00.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Monday’s high $356.12.

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

Failure to avoid a fall through the $352.85 pivot would bring the first major support level at $349.57 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should avoid sub-$345 levels. The second major support level at $345.42 should limit any downside.
