Ethereum & Monero’s XMR Daily Tech Analysis – 05/09/19

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 2.38 on Wednesday. Reversing a 0.08% gain from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $174.82.

A relatively bullish start to the day saw Ethereum strike an early morning high $180.33 before hitting reverse.

Coming up against the first major resistance level at $183.03, Ethereum fell to a late intraday low $173.29.

The reversal saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level at $175.02.

Finding support from the broader market, Ethereum closed out the day at $174 levels to limit the day’s loss.

The extended bearish trend, formed at late April 2018’s swing hi $828.97, remained firmly intact. A reversal from June’s current year high $364.49 back through the 23.6% FIB of $257 reaffirmed the extended bearish trend.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.47% to $174.0. A relatively bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $174.95 to a low $173.75.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the morning high $174.95 to $176 levels would support a run at the first major resistance level at $179.03.

Ethereum would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from $176 levels later today.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Wednesday’s high $180.33 and first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move back through the morning high to $176 levels could see Ethereum struggle on the day.

A fall back through the morning low $173.75 to $172 levels would bring the first major support level at $171.96 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$170 support levels.
