Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – September 30th, 2020

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 1.76% on Tuesday. Reversing a 1.01% gain from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $359.90

It was a choppy day on Tuesday. Ethereum fell to a mid-morning intraday low $350.19 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $347.69, Ethereum struck an early afternoon high $359.68.

Coming up short of the major resistance levels, Ethereum slid back to a low $350.35 and into the red.

Finding late support, however, Ethereum bounced back to a final hour intraday high $360.59.

Coming up short of the first major resistance level at $364.33, Ethereum slipped back to end the day at sub-$360 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.33% to $358.71. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $360.10 before falling to a low $358.53.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $356.89 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $363.60.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Tuesday’s high $360.59.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and 38.2% FIB of $367 would likely cap any upside.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $356.89 pivot would bring the first major support level at $353.20 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $346.49.

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $45.49 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $46.02.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $46 levels.

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

In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $46.36 could come into play.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $45.49 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $45.15 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$44 levels. The second major support level at $44.62 should limit any downside.
