Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – February 8th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 3.84% on Sunday. Following on from a 2.40% decline on Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 22.94% to $1,615.32.

It was a mixed start to the day. Ethereum rose to an early morning intraday high $1,695.38 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,735, Ethereum slid to a late afternoon intraday low $1,493.28.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $1,636 and the second major support level at $1,592.

Finding support at the third major support level at $1,494, Ethereum broke back through to $1,600 levels.

The first major support level at $1,636 pinned Ethereum back late in the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.75% to $1,627.46. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $1,601.14 before rising to a high $1,627.46.

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 $1,601 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,709.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,700 levels.

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

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,900 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,803.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,601 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,507 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,399.
