Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – November 20th, 2020

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 1.48% on Thursday. Following on from a 0.79% decline on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $471.92.

It was a mixed start to the day. Ethereum rose to an early morning intraday high $480.99 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $497.59, Ethereum fell to a late morning intraday low $465.18.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $458.41, Ethereum briefly revisited $478 levels before falling back into the red.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.15% to $472.65. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $471.76 before rising to a high $473.00.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the pivot level at $472.70 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $480.21.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $480 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $480.99 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $490 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $488.51.

Failure to move back through the $472.70 pivot would bring the first major support level at $464.40 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$460 levels. The second major support level sits at $456.89.
