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

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 4.62% on Monday. Reversing a 4.79% slide from Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,374.6.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum slide to an early morning intraday low $1,271.13 before making a move.

Finding support at the first major support level at $1,271, Ethereum struck a late morning high $1,346.50.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,370, Ethereum slid back to a low $1,300.04 before finding support.

Late in the day, Ethereum rallied to an intraday high $1,378.02 before easing back. Ethereum broke through first major resistance level at $1,370 to end the day at $1,374 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.54% to $1,395.83. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rally from an early morning low $1,374.17 to a high $1,397.85.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $1,341 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,411.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,400 levels.

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

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,448.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,341 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,305 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,200 levels. The second major support level at $1,234 should limit the downside.
