Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – September 21st, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 10.58% on Monday. Following a 3.14% loss on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,976.48.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $3,346.58 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of 23.6% FIB of $3,369 and the first major resistance level at $3,431, Ethereum slid to a mid-day intraday low $2,911.81.

Ethereum fell through day’s major support levels to end the day at sub-$3,000 levels.

Through the afternoon, Ethereum had broken back through the third major support level at $2,996 before easing back.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.67% to $2,956.40. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,977.52 before falling to a low $2,952.09.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $3,078 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,245 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $3,200 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 resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,513.

Failure to move through the $3,078 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,810 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $2,644.
