Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – February 17th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.08% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 1.31% loss from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $1.781.97.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum tumble to an early morning intraday low $1,725.0 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,681, Ethereum struck an early morning intraday high $1,825.00 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,857, Ethereum fell back to $1,725 levels and into the red.

A late move back through to $1,780 levels delivered the upside on the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.18% to $1,778.70. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,786.18 before falling to a low $1,778.62.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $1,777 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,830.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Tuesday’s high $1,825.00.

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

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at Saturday’s swing hi $1,877.88 and the second major resistance level at $1,877.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,777 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,730 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,677.
