Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 12th, 2020

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.98% on Sunday. Following on from a 1.48% gain on Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 6.23% to $374.38.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $369.02 before making a move.

Steering clear of the 37.2% FIB of $367 and the first major support level at $363.58, Ethereum rallied to a late morning intraday high $377.49.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $379.37, Ethereum slipped back to end the day at $374 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.10% to $374.02. A Bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $348.38 to a low $373.80.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $373.63 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $378.24.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Sunday’s high $377.49.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $380 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $382.24.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $373.63 pivot would bring the first major support level at $369.77 and the 38.2% FIB into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to avoid sub-$360 levels. The second major support level at $365.16 should limit any downside.

Pivot Level: $373.63

Barring an extended crypto rally, Sunday’s high and the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin would likely test the second major resistance level at $52.69.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $50.15 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $49.04 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $47.61.

Ripple’s XRP will need to move back through the $0.2558 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.2581.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break back through to $0.2580 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $0.25837 would likely cap any upside.
