Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – September 22nd, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 7.08% on Tuesday. Following a 10.58% slide on Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,765.69.

A choppy start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,805.00.

Finding support at the first major support level at $2,810, Ethereum rose to a late morning intraday high $3,104.82.

Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $3,245, however, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $2,651.00.

Ethereum fell through first major support level at $2,810 and the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 before a partial recovery to $2,760 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.46% to $2,778.35.  A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,756.72 before rising to a high $2,791.00.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $2,841 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,030 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $3,000 levels.

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

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,294.

Failure to move through the $2,841 pivot would bring the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the first major support level at $2,576 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $2,389.

First Major Support Level: $2,576

Pivot Level: $2,841

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move through the $152 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $159 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $155 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $162.32 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test the second major resistance level at $170.

Failure to move through the $152 pivot would bring the first major support level at $141 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$140. The second major support level sits at $134.
