Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – February 27th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 2.49% on Friday. Following on from an 8.78% slide on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,445.18.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,530.00 before hitting reverse.

Falling well short of the major resistance levels and 23.6% FIB of $1,579, Ethereum fell to a mid-morning intraday low $1,400.01.

Finding support at the first major support level at $1,403, Ethereum struck a late afternoon intraday high $1,564.11.

Falling short of the 23.6% FIB and the first major resistance level at $1,617, Ethereum slid back to $1,411 levels before steadying.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.82% to $1,457.03. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $1,439.59 before rising to a high $1,466.67

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 $1,470 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,540.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,500 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and 23.6% FIB of $1,579 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,700 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,634.

Failure to move through the $1,470 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,375 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the 38.2% FIB of $1,292. The second major support level at $1,306 should limit the downside.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $182.90 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test the second major resistance level at $192.48 and 23.6% FIB of $195.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $171.81 pivot level would bring the 38.2% FIB of $163 and the first major support level at $160.72 into play.
