Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – August 3rd, 2021

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 2.04% on Monday. Following a 0.86% gain on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,608.12.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $2,503.70 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,467, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $2,666.36.

Coming up against the first major resistance level at $2,666, however, Ethereum fell back to sub-$2,600 levels before finding late support.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.38% to $2,598.24. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,609.07 before falling to a low $2,586.00.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the $2,593 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,682 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,650 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $2,700 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could resistance at $2,800 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,755. Ethereum would need plenty of support, however, to breakout from the 38.2% FIB of $2,740.

A fall back through the $2,593 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,519 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$2,400 levels. The second major support level at $2,430 should limit the downside.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $145.91 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended breakout, Litecoin could test the second major resistance level at $149.

Failure to move through the $142 pivot would bring the first major support level at $138 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should continue to steer clear of sub-$130 levels. The second major support level at $135 should limit the downside.
