Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – January 29th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 7.46% on Thursday. Partially reversing a 9.28% slide from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,333.61.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $1,220.08 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,173, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $1,363.27.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $1,343, before easing back to end the day at sub-$1,340 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.81% to $1,344.00. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum slip to an early morning low $1,331.35 before rising to a high $1,345.29.

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 $1,306 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,391.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Thursday’s high $1,363.27.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $1,400 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $1,449 and resistance at $1,500.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,306 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,248 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the 23.6% FIB of $1,148. The second major support level at $1,162 should limit the downside.
