Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – August 9th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 4.71% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 9.34% rally from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 17.95% to $3,014.13.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a mid-morning intraday high $3,191.99 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,269, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $2,948.76.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $2,962 before returning to $3,000 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 1.54% to $2,967.75. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $3,036.47 before falling to a low $2,960.80.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $3,052 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,155 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $3,100 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $3,191.99 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,295.

Failure to move through the $3,052 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,911 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $2,808.
