Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 2nd, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum jumped by 10.33% on Friday. Following a 5.29% rally on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,311.16

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $2,967.41 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,875, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $3,337.15.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $3,087 and the second major resistance level at $3,174.

Coming within range of the 23.6% FIB of $3,369, however, Bitcoin eased back to end the day at sub-$3,320 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.11% to $3,314.77. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early low $3,307.79 before rising to a high $3,320.74.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,205 pivot to bring the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 and the first major resistance level at $3,443 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $3,400 levels.

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

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $3,600 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,575.

A fall through the $3,205 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,073 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $2,836.
