Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – February 20th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.93% on Friday. Following on from a 4.74% rally on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,957.68.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $1,890.00 before making a move.

Steering well clear of the first major support level at $1,877, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high and a new swing hi $1,974.98.

Coming within range of the first major resistance level at $1,976, Ethereum eased back to end the day at sub-$1,960 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.52% to $1,947.53. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,962.31 before falling to a low $1,943.65.

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 $1,941 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,992.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s new swing hi $1,974.98.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level resistance at $2,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,100 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,026.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,941 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,907 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$1,900 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,856.
