Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 19th, 2021
Ethereum
Ethereum fell by 2.65% on Monday. Reversing a 0.46% gain from Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,745.48.
A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $3,894.7 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,963, Ethereum slid to an early afternoon intraday low $3,676.35.
Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $3,687 before briefly revisiting $3,800 levels.
A bearish end to the day, however, saw Ethereum slide back to sub-$3,800 levels and into the red.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.20% to $3,753.06. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $3,731.22 before rising to a high $3,765.55.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the $3,772 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,868 play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $3,850 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $3,894.70 would likely cap the upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $3,991.
Failure to move through the $3,772 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,650 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,500 levels. The second major support level at $3,554 should limit the downside.

A fall through the $184 pivot would bring the first major support level at $180 and the 23.6% FIB of $178 into play.
