Ethereum and Stellar’s Lumen Daily Tech Analysis – 31/10/19
By:
It's back into the red for the majors, with another day of heavy losses on the cards should the pair fail to hit key levels by late morning.
Ethereum
Ethereum slid by 4% on Wednesday. Partially reversing a 4.98% rally from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $183.38.
A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $192.2 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $195.77, Ethereum slid to an early afternoon intraday low $180.05.
The reversal saw Ethereum fall through the first major support at $184.08 before finding support.
Steering clear of sub-$180, Ethereum moved back through the first major support level before falling back to close the day at $183 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 0.46% to $182.54. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $185.47 before falling to a low $181.23.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move back through to $185.20 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $190.37.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $190 levels
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s high $192.2 would likely limit any upside.
Failure to move back through to $185.20 levels could see Ethereum fall deeper into the red.
A fall back through to $181 levels would bring the first major support level at $178.22 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off through the day, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$178 levels on the day.

Major Support Level: $178.22
Major Resistance Level: $190.37
