Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – March 17th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.67% on Tuesday. Following a 2.89% decline on Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,806.03.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum slide to an early morning intraday low $1,706.25 before making a move.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $1,722.04 before striking a late morning intraday high $1,819.20.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,881, Ethereum fell back to $1,760 levels before funding support.

A late move back through to $1,800 delivered the upside for the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.37% to $1,799.27. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,812.76 before falling to a low $1,798.32.

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 $1,777 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,848.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Tuesday’s high $1,819.2.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $1,850 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,950 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,890.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,777 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,735 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,650 levels. The second major support level at $1,664 should limit the downside.
