Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 7th, 2020

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 3.69% on Tuesday. Reversing a 0.37% gain from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $340.78.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $355.33 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $357.00, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $336.73.

Ethereum fell through the day’s major support levels before a move back through to $340 levels. The partial recovery saw Ethereum break back through the third major support level at $337.99.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.36% to $339.55. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $340.86 to a low $339.54.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $344.28 pivot to support another run at the first major resistance level at $351.83.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $350 levels.

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

Failure to move through the $344.28 pivot would bring the first major support level at $333.23 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should avoid sub-$330 levels. The second major support level sits at $325.68.
