Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – April 30th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.27% on Thursday. Following on from a 3.14% gain on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,758.92.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to a mid-morning intraday low $2,672.00 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,614, Ethereum rallied to a mid-day intraday high and a new swing hi $2,800.00.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,826, Ethereum fell back to sub-$2,700 levels and into the red.

Finding late support, Ethereum revisited $2,770 levels before easing back.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the pivot level at $2,744 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2,815.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Thursday’s new swing hi $2,800.00.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $3,000. The second major resistance level sits at $2,872.

Failure to avoid the $2,744 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,687 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,600 levels. The second major support level at $2,616 should limit the downside.
