Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – March 22nd, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 1.22% on Sunday. Following on from a 0.14% loss on Saturday, Ethereum ended the week down by 3.49% to $1,784.0.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $1,818.86 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,850, Ethereum slid to a late morning intraday low $1,748.25.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $1,782 and the second major support level at $1,757.

Steering clear of sub-$1,700 levels, Ethereum revisited $1,800 levels before falling back into the red.

The first major support level at $1,782 limited the downside late in the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.43% to $1,776.34. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,787.53 before falling to a low $1,773.49.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the pivot level at $1,784 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,819.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Sunday’s high $1,818.86.

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

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,900 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,854.

Failure to move back through the $1,784 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,749 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,700 levels. The second major support level at $1,713 should limit the downside.
