Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 1st, 2020

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 0.01% on Wednesday. Following a 1.76% gain on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the month down by 17.05% to $359.89.

It was another choppy day on Wednesday. Ethereum rose to an early morning high $360.1 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $363.60, Ethereum slid to a midday intraday low $351.38.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $353.20 before bouncing back to a final hour intraday high $361.51.

Coming up short of the major resistance levels once more, Ethereum slipped back to sub-$360 levels and into the red.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.01% to $359.91. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $361.42 before falling to a low $359.91

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $357.59 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $363.81.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $361.51.

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

Failure to avoid a fall through the $357.59 pivot would bring the first major support level at $353.68 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $347.46.
