Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – May 7th, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 1.05% on Thursday. Partially reversing an 8.96% rally from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,492.75.

It was a mixed start to the day. Ethereum fell to a mid-morning intraday low $3,381.11 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $3,308, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high and a new swing hi $3,610.91.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $3,651 before a pullback to sub-$3,410 levels.

Finding late support, Ethereum moved back through to $3,540 levels before easing back.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.37% to $3,479.80. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $3,500.21 before falling to a low $3,479.14.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the $3,495 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,609 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $3,550.00 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s new swing hi $3,610.91 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $4,000. The second major resistance level sits at $3,725, with the third major resistance level at $3,955.

Failure to move back through the $3,495 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,379 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,200 levels. The second major support level at $3,265 should limit the downside.
