Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – February 19th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 4.74% on Thursday. Following on from a 3.92% gain on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,939.64.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum slip to an early morning intraday low $1,851.47 before finding support.

Steering well clear of the first major support level at $1,771, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high and a new swing hi $1,950.3.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $1,895 and the second major resistance level at $1,938.

A choppy end to the day saw Ethereum briefly fall back through the second major resistance level to $1,916 levels before ending the day at $1,939 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.07% to $1,940.93. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,947.37 before falling to a low $1,939.50.

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 $1,914 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,976.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Thursday’s new swing hi $1,950.30.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level resistance at $2,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,100 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,013.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,914 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,877 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$1,800 levels. The second major support level at $1,815 should limit the downside.
