Yahoo Finance Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – March 3rd, 2021
Ethereum
Ethereum slid by 5.31% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 10.55% rally from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,488.34.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $1,605.89 before hitting reverse.
While falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,627, Ethereum broke through the 23.6% FIB of $1,579.
The reversal saw Ethereum slide to a late intraday low $1,455.86.
The sell-off saw Ethereum fall through the 23.6% FIB and the first major support level at $1,465.
Finding late support, Ethereum moved back through the first major support level to reduce the deficit on the day.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.44% to $1,481.85. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,489.04 before falling to a low $1,480.27.
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 $1,517 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,578 and the 23.6% FIB of $1,579.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,570 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and the 23.6% FIB would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $1,667 and resistance at $1,700.
Failure to move through the $1,517 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,428 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,400 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,367.
