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

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 5.96% on Thursday. Following on from a 6.16% gain on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $414.7.

It was a bullish day, with Ethereum rallying from an early morning intraday low $391.33 to a late intraday high $421.47.

The rally saw Ethereum break through the first major resistance level at $406.75. Coming within range of the second major resistance level at $421.96, however, Ethereum slipped back to sub-$415 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.34% to $413.30. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $414.75 before falling to a low $412.50.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $409.17 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $427.00.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Thursday’s high $421.47.

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

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $430 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $439.31.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $409.17 pivot would bring the first major support level at $396.86 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$380 levels. The second major support level sit at $379.03.

While falling short of the first major resistance level at $56.58, Litecoin broke through the 23.6% FIB of $54.0.

Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $56.32 would likely cap any upside.
