Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – August 6th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 3.84% on Thursday. Following an 8.63% rally on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,829.39.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to a mid-day intraday low $2,534.30 before making a move.

Coming within range of the first major support level at $2,530, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $2,845.00.

Ethereum broke through the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 to test the first major resistance level at S2,845 before easing back.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.56% to $2,845.18. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,823.01 before rising to a high $2,845.54.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the $2,736 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,938 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Thursday’s high $2,845.00.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $3,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $3,150 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,047.

A fall through the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the $2,736 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,628 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,600 levels. The second major support level sits at $2,426.
