Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – January 27th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 3.79% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 5.46% slide from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,367.98.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rally to an early morning intraday high $1,378.12 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,432, Ethereum fell to an early afternoon intraday low $1,245.00.

Finding support at the first major support level at $1,249, Ethereum struck a late high $1,375.28 before easing back.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.90% to $1,355.65. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,375.91 before falling to a low $1,351.80.

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 $1,330 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,416.

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

Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $1,400 and the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $1,464 and resistance at the swing hi $1,477.30.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,330 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,283 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,200 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,197.
