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

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 6.91% on Wednesday. Following a 1.51% fall on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,367.73.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a mid-morning intraday high $2,555.00 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,620, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $2,351.01.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $2,487 and the second major support level at $2,430 to end the day at sub-$2,400 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.64% to $2,382.95. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,358.60 before rising to a high $2,384.00.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $2,425 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,498 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $2,450 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s high $2,555.00 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $2,629.

Failure to move through the $2,425 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,294 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,200 levels. The second major support level at $2,221 should limit the downside.
