Ethereum and Stellar’s Lumen Daily Tech Analysis – 05/12/19

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 1.24% on Wednesday. Following on from a 1.01% decline on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $145.5.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $143.17 before finding support.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $145.33 and the second major support level at $143.34.

Through the late morning, Ethereum found support to strike an early afternoon intraday high $153.0.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $149.66 and the second major resistance level at $152.0.

Sentiment from across the broader market ultimately weighed, however, with Ethereum sliding back to sub-$145 levels late on.

The pullback saw Ethereum fall back through the first major support level at $145.33 before closing out the day at $145 levels.

The extended bearish trend, formed at late April 2018’s swing hi $828.97, remained firmly intact. A reversal from June’s current year high $364.49 back through the 23.6% FIB of $257 reaffirmed the extended bearish trend.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.60% to $144.62. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $146.64 to a low $143.8.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through to $147.2 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $151.28.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from the morning high $146.64.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally on the day, we would expect Ethereum to come up short of $150 levels.

Failure to move through to $147.2 levels could see Ethereum slide deeper into the red.

A fall through the morning low $143.8 would bring the first major support level at $141.45 into play before any recovery.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$140 levels.
