Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – March 1st, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 2.63% on Sunday. Reversing a 1.07% gain from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week down by 26.54% to $1,422.02.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,469.96 before hitting reverse.

Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $1,518, Ethereum fell to a mid-afternoon intraday low $1,292.76.

The extended sell-off saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level at $1,411 and the second major support level at $1,256.

Finding support at the 38.2% FIB of $1,292, Ethereum revisited $1,440 levels before easing back.

The first major support level limited the downside late in the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.62% to $1,413.22. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,430.74 before falling to a low $1,413.22.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $1,395 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,497.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Sunday’s high $1,469.96.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $1,500 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $1,572. The 23.6% FIB of $1,579 and resistance at $1,600 would likely cap any upside, however.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,395 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,320 and the 38.2% FIB of $1,292 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,200 levels. The second major support level at $1,218 should limit the downside.
