Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – December 29th, 2020

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 6.66% on Monday. Following on from a 7.42% rally on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $729.70.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $680.90 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $634.42, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high and a new swing hi $747.00.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $724.4 to wrap up the day at $729 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.01% to $737.10. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $728.00 before rising to a high $739.66.

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 $719.20 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $757.40.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Monday’s high $747.00.

Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $760 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $780 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $783.20.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $719.20 pivot would bring the first major support level at $691.40 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer well clear of the second major support level sits $653.10.
