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.

Looking at the Technical Indicators

First Major Support Level: $2,519

Pivot Level: $2,593

First Major Resistance Level: $2,682

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $3,369

Litecoin

Litecoin rose by 0.75% on Monday. Partially reversing a 2.89% slide from Sunday, Litecoin ended the day at $141.36.

A mixed start to the day saw Litecoin fall to an early morning intraday low $138.81 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $136, Litecoin rallied to a mid-morning intraday high $145.91.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $147, Litecoin fell back to sub-$140 before finding late support.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was down by 0.12% to $141.19. A mixed start to the day saw Litecoin rise to an early morning high $141.48 before falling to a low $140.16.

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

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to move through the $142 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $145 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to back through to $145 levels.

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.

Looking at the Technical Indicators

First Major Support Level: $138

Pivot Level: $142

First Major Resistance Level: $145

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $178

Ripple’s XRP left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break out from $0.75 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $0.77278 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another breakout, Ripple’s XRP could test the second major resistance level at $0.8004.

Failure to move through the $0.7425 pivot would bring the first major support level at $0.7122 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ripple’s XRP should steer clear of sub-$0.70 levels. The second major support level sits at $0.6845.
