Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 6.59% on Friday. Following a 1.58% loss on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $4,217.

After a mixed morning, Ethereum rose to an early afternoon intraday high $4,663 before hitting reverse. Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $4,623 before sliding to a late intraday low $4,036.

The extended sell-off saw Ethereum fall through the day’s major support levels. Steering clear of sub-$4,000 levels, however, Ethereum broke back through the third major resistance level at $4,124 to end the day at $4,200 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.35% to $4,202. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $4,240 before falling to a low $4,193.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $4,305 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,575 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $4,300 levels. Barring an extended rally, the first major resistance level should limit the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the ATH $4,868 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $4,932.

Failure to move through the $4,305 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,948 into play. Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,700 levels and the second major support level at $3,679. The 23.6% FIB of $3,738 should limit the downside.

Litecoin would need to move through the $192 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $204 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $200 levels.

In the event of an extended rally, Litecoin could test resistance at $215 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $220.

Failure to move through the $192 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $178 and the first major support level at $176 into play. Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$170 levels. The second major support level sits at $164.
