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

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.86% on Sunday. Following a 2.84% gain on Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 16.53% to $2,555.43.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $2,511.5 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,452, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $2,699.00.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $2,585 and the second major resistance level at $2,636.

A late pullback, however, saw Ethereum fall back through the major resistance levels to end the day at sub-$2,560 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.71% to $2,573.67. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,545.70 before rising to a high $2,579.22.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $2,589 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,666 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,650 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $2,699.00 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could resistance at $2,800 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,776. Ethereum would need plenty of support, however, to breakout from the 38.2% FIB of $2,740.

Failure to move through the $2,589 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,478 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$2,400 levels. The second major support level at $2,401 should limit the downside.
