Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – February 25th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 3.01% on Wednesday. Partially reversing Tuesday’s 11.27% slide, Ethereum ended the day at $1,625.3.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum slide to an early morning intraday low $1,500.28 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,362, Ethereum rallied to late morning intraday high $1,714.00.

While falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,789, Ethereum broke back through the 23.6% FIB of $1,579.

Through the 2^nd half of the day, Ethereum briefly fell back through the 23.6% FIB before wrapping up the day at $1,600 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.05% to $1,624.49. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,634.99 before falling to a low $1,621.00

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 $1,613 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,726.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out Tuesday’s high $1,714.00.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $1,750 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $1,827 before any pullback.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,613 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $1,579 and the first major support level at $1,512 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,400.

It was a bearish start to the day. Litecoin slid to an early morning intraday low $168.89 before making a move.

In spite of the sell-off, Litecoin steered clear of the 38.2% FIB of $163 and the first major support level at $154.55.

Finding support through the morning, Litecoin rose to a mid-day intraday high $189.69.

Falling well short of the 23.6% FIB of $195 and the first major resistance level at $204.79, Litecoin slid back to $172 levels.

A late move back through to $181 levels delivered the upside on the day, however.

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $180.09 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $191.30 and the 23.6% FIB of $195.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Wednesday’s high $189.69.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and the 23.6% FIB would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $210 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $200.89.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $180.09 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $170.50 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break back through to $0.49 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s high $0.050044 should cap any upside.
