Ethereum and Stellar’s Lumen Daily Tech Analysis – 24/10/19

Ethereum

Ethereum tumbled by 5.12% on Wednesday. Following on from a 1.75% decline on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $162.49.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $171.48 to an early morning low $164.10.

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

Finding support late in the morning, Ethereum recovered to $167.6 levels before sliding to a late afternoon intraday low $153.0.

The broad-based mid-day crypto sell-off saw Ethereum slide back through the second major support level at $167.46 and third major support level at $162.53.

Through the late part of the day, a late jump to an intraday high $174.05 was short-lived, with Ethereum sliding back through the major support levels to wrap up the day at $162 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 0.76% to $161.26. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $162.88 to a low $159.01 before finding support.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through to $162.40 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $171.65.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $170 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, Ethereum would likely face plenty of resistance at $170 to limit any upside.

Failure to move back through to $162.40 levels could see Ethereum slide deeper into the red.

A fall back through the morning low $159.01 would bring the first major support level at $153.17 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off through the day, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$150 support levels.
