Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 13th, 2020

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 3.30% on Monday. Following on from a 0.98% gain on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $386.74.

It was a mixed start to the day. Ethereum fell to a late morning intraday low $365.77 before making a move.

Falling through the first major support level at $369.77 and the 38.2% FIB of $367, Ethereum found support at the second major support level at $365.16.

Rebounding through the afternoon, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $395.18.

Ethereum broke through the day’s major resistance levels before a late pullback to sub-$390 levels. The late pullback saw Ethereum fall back through the third major resistance level at $390.57.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.16% to $386.11. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $387.88 before falling to a low $385.85.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $382.56 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $399.36.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Monday’s high $395.18.

Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $411.97.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $382.56 pivot would bring the first major support level at $369.95 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should avoid the second major support level at $353.15. The 38.2% FIB of $367 should limit any downside.

First Major Support Level: $369.95

Pivot Level: $382.56

First Major Resistance Level: $399.36

Litecoin rose by 0.28% on Monday. Following a 3.32% rally on Sunday, Litecoin ended the day at $50.61.

Tracking the broader market, Litecoin fell to a late morning intraday low $49.29 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $49.04, Litecoin rallied to a late intraday high $51.55.

Coming up against the first major resistance level at $51.58, Litecoin fell back to end the day at sub-$51 levels.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was down by 0.91% to $50.15. A mixed start to the day saw Litecoin rise to an early morning high $50.72 before sliding to a low $50.09.

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

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move back through the $50.48 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $51.68.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Monday’s high $51.55.

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

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin would likely test the second major resistance level at $52.74.

Failure to move back through the $50.48 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $49.42 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $48.22.

For the day ahead

Ripple’s XRP will need to avoid a fall through the $0.2546 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.2601.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break out from Monday’s high $0.25843.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended rally, the second major resistance level at $0.2640 would likely come into play.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $0.2546 pivot would bring the first major support level at $0.2507 into play.
