Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – January 26th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 5.46% on Monday. Partially reversing a 12.92% rally from Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,317.97.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rally to an early morning intraday high and a new swing hi $1,477.30 before hitting reverse.

Ethereum broke through first major resistance level at $1,457 before falling to a late intraday low $1,293.65.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,277, Ethereum moved back through to $1,300 levels to limit the downside.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.69% to $1,340.19. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $1,301.05 before striking a high $1,340.19.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the pivot level at $1,363 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,432.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,400 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and swing hi $1,477.30 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,550 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,547.

Failure to move through the $1,363 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,249 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,200 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,179.
