Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 9th, 2020

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 2.79% on Thursday. Following on from a 0.26% gain on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $351.25.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum slide to a late morning intraday low $334.29 before making a move.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $335.42 before rallying to a late intraday high $353.34.

The rally saw Ethereum break through the first major resistance level at $345.38 and the second major resistance level at $349.09.

A late pullback saw Ethereum briefly dip to sub-$350 before wrapping up the day at $351 levels. The second major resistance level delivered support late in the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.08% to $350.97. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $350.41 before rising to a high $351.47.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $346.29 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $358.30.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Thursday’s high $353.34.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $365.34 would likely come into play.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $346.29 pivot would bring the first major support level at $339.25 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to avoid sub-$330 levels. The second major support level sits at $327.24.

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

Failure to avoid a fall through the $46.75 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $46.01 into play.
