Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – December 23rd, 2020

In This Article:

Ethereum rose by 4.73% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 4.72% slide from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $636.82.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fell to a late morning intraday low $587.54 before making a move.

Finding support at the first major support level at $587.20, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $638.50.

Coming within range of the first major resistance level at $638.65, Ethereum eased back to end the day at $636 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.48% to $633.75. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $638.24 before falling to a low $633.57.

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 $620.95 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $654.37.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $650 levels.

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

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $660 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $671.91.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $620.95 pivot would bring the first major support level at $603.41 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$590 levels. The second major support level sits at $569.99.
