Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – August 23rd, 2021

In This Article:

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.47% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 1.83% decline from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week down by 2.10% to $3,241.42.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a late morning intraday high $3,275.00.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,290, Ethereum eased slid to a late afternoon intraday low $3,128.82.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $3,186 and the second major support level at $3,144.

Finding late support, however, Ethereum moved back through the major support levels to end the day at $3,240 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.48% to $3,257.02. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $3,235.44 before rising to a high $3,260.71.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,215 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,301 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $3,300 levels.

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

In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test the 23.6% FIB of $3,369. The second major resistance level sits at $3,361.

A fall through the $3,215 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,155 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,000 levels. The second major support level at $3,069 should limit the downside.
