Ethereum and Stellar’s Lumen Daily Tech Analysis – 07/10/19

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 3.7% on Sunday. Reversing a 0.43% gain from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up 0.47% to $170.18.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $177.12 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $178.43, Ethereum tumbled to a late afternoon intraday low $167.50.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $173.65 and the second major support level at $170.57.

Finding support from the broader market, Ethereum recovered to $171 levels before falling back through the second major support level.

The extended bearish trend, formed at late April 2018’s swing hi $828.97, remained firmly intact. A reversal from June’s current year high $364.49 back through the 23.6% FIB of $257 reaffirmed the extended bearish trend.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.67% to $171.32. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $168.61 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $166.08, Ethereum hit a morning high $171.63.

In spite of the rebound, Ethereum left the major resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the morning high $171.63 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $175.70.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $173 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $175.70 would likely cap any upside on the day.

Failure to move through the morning high $171.63 would likely see Ethereum hit reverse later in the day.

A fall back through the morning low $168.61 would bring the first major support level at $166.08 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$166 support levels on the day.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Stellar’s Lumen to break through to $0.0590 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $0.059428 would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move through to $0.05830 levels could see Stellar’s Lumen fall deeper into the red. A fall through to sub-$0.058 levels would bring the first major support level at $0.0572 into play.
