Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – April 22nd, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 1.07% on Wednesday. Following on from a 7.81% rally on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,357.21.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to a late morning intraday low $2,237.02 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,141, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $2,471.72.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $2,437 before easing back to end the day at sub-$2,400 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.43% to $2,347.01. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,379.26 before falling to a low $2,317.25.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the pivot level at $2,355 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2,474.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $2,450 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s high $2,471.72 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at last week’s new swing hi $2,548.0 and resistance at $2,600. The second major resistance level sits at $2,590.

Failure to move back through the $2,355 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,239 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the 23.6% FIB of $1,966. The second major support level at $2,121 should limit the downside.
