Yahoo Finance Ethereum and Stellar’s Lumen Daily Tech Analysis – 08/10/19
Ethereum
Ethereum rallied by 5.92% on Monday. Reversing a 3.7% slide from Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $180.26.
A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $168.61 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $166.08, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $182.50.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $175.70 and the second major resistance level at $181.22.
A late pullback to $180 levels saw Ethereum fall back through the second major resistance level. Holding onto $180 levels at the day end was key, however.
The extended bearish trend, formed at late April 2018’s swing hi $828.97, remained firmly intact. A reversal from June’s current year high $364.49 back through the 23.6% FIB of $257 reaffirmed the extended bearish trend.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.46% to $182.89. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rally from an early morning low $180.01 to a high $185.30.
Ethereum came within range of the first major resistance level at $185.64 before the pullback.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to hold onto $180 levels to support another run at the first major resistance level at $185.67.
Continued support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break back through to $185 levels.
In the event of an extended rally through the day, Ethereum could visit $190 levels before any pullback. We would expect the second major resistance level at $191.01 to limit any upside, however.
Failure to hold onto $180 levels could see Ethereum test the first major support level at $171.75 before any recovery.
Barring a crypto meltdown, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$170 support levels on the day.
