Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 24th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 8.58% on Sunday. Following on from a 5.65% decline on Saturday, Ethereum ended the week down by 41.44% to $2,099.58.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $2,382.00 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,470, Ethereum slid to a late afternoon intraday low $1,728.00.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $2,140 and the second major support level at $1,983.

Finding support at the 62% FIB of $1,725, Ethereum broke back through the first major support levels to end the day at $2,099 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 3.01% to $2,162.87. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise from an early morning low $2,100.07 to a high $2,165.96.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $2,070 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,412 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,400 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $2,382.00 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $2,740. The second major resistance level sits at $2,724.

Failure to avoid the $2,070 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,758 and the 62% FIB of $1,725 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,416.

A sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $1,725 would form a near-term bearish trend from 12^th May’s swing hi $4,384.30.
