Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Ripple’s XRP – Support Levels Kick in Early as Bears Take Control

This is the technical analysis for Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Ripple’s XRP. We will be looking at previous day price action and today’s support, resistance, and pivot levels and, when in play, the Fibonacci’s.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum (ETH) rose by 1.02% on Sunday. Following a 4.90% rally on Saturday, Ethereum ended the week down by 1.67% to $4,133.

A bearish morning saw Ethereum fall to a late morning intraday low $3,989 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $3,918, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $4,186.

Coming up against the first major resistance level at $4,182, however, Ethereum eased back to end the day at $4,130 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 3.61% to $3,984. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $4,146 before sliding to a low $3,962.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $4,020 early on.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the firsts major support level and the $4,103 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,216 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $4,200 levels. Barring an extended rally, the first major resistance level should limit the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $4,300.

Failure to move back through the first major support level at $4,020 would bring the second major support level at $3,906 into play. Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,900 levels. The third major support sits level at $3,709.

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move back through the $158 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $164 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Sunday’s high $162.98.

Failure to move back through the $158 pivot would bring the first major support level at $154 back into play. Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$150 levels. The second major support level sits at $149.
