Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – April 29th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 3.14% on Wednesday. Following on from a 5.31% gain on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,751.59.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum to a mid-morning intraday low $2,551.00 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,541, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high and a new swing hi $2,762.59.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $2,739 before easing back.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.11% to $2,748.46. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,732.14 before rising to a high $2,759.00.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the pivot level at $2,688 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2,826.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s new swing hi $2,762.59.

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 $3,000. The second major resistance level sits at $2,900.

Failure to avoid the $2,688 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,614 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,400 levels. The second major support level at $2,477 should limit the downside.
