Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – April 8th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 7.06% on Wednesday. Reversing a 0.26% gain from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,964.23.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $2,128.99 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,161, Ethereum fell to a mid-day intraday low $1,929.69.

The sell-off saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level at $2,056 and the second major support level at $1,998.

A choppy 2^nd half of the day saw Ethereum revisit $2,000 levels and fall back through the first and second major support levels.

Late in the day, Ethereum revisited $2,000 levels for a 2^nd time before falling back through the second major support level.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.21% to $1,960.07. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,971.01 before falling to a low $1,949.34.

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 $2,008 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2,086.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,050 levels.

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

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,200 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,207.

Failure to move through the $2,008 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,886 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,808.
