Ethereum and Stellar’s Lumen Daily Tech Analysis – 23/10/19

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 1.75% on Tuesday. Following on from a 0.64% decline on Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $171.3.

A relatively bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $175.4 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $177.76, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $170.47.

The sell-off saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level at $171.21 before finding support.

Finding support at the day end, Ethereum managed to break back through the first major support level.

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 2.53% to $166.96. A particularly bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $171.48 to a low $164.10.

Falling short of the major resistance levels, Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $169.38 and second major support level at $167.46.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through to $172.40 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $174.31.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to move back through the major support levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, Ethereum would likely fail to recover to $170 levels later in the day. The first major support level at $169.38 would likely pin Ethereum back.

Failure to move back through the major support levels could see Ethereum test the third major support level at $162.53.

Barring an extended sell-off through the day, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$160 levels.
