Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 7th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 1.64% on Wednesday. Following a 3.79% gain on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,574.86.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum slide to a late morning intraday low $3,342.16 before making a move.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $3,405 and the 23.6% FIB of $3,369.

Finding late morning support, however, Ethereum rallied to a mid-afternoon intraday high $3,632.44.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $3,587 ending the day at sub-$3,580 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.24% to $3,567.28. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $3,578.15 before falling to a low $3,553.73.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,517 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,691 play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $3,632.44.

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 $4,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,807.

A fall through the $3,517 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,401 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,300 levels and the second major support level at $3,226. The 23.6% FIB of $3,369 should limit the downside.
