Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple’s XRP – Daily Tech Analysis – October 19th, 2020
Ethereum
Ethereum rallied by 2.74% on Sunday. Following on from a 0.8% gain on Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 1.12% to $378.58
It was a bullish end to the week. Ethereum rallied from an early morning intraday low $367.31 to a final hour intraday high $378.69.
The day-long rally saw Ethereum break through the first major resistance level at $371.51 and the second major resistance level at $374.55.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.11% to $378.16. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $379.94 before falling to a low $378.01.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $374.86 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $382.41.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $380 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $386.24 before any pullback.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $374.86 pivot would bring the first major support level at $371.03 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the 38.2% FIB of $367. The second major support level sits at $363.48.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break out from Sunday’s high $0.24342.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended rally, the second major resistance level at $0.2450 would likely come into play.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $0.2420 pivot would bring the first major support level at $0.2406 into play.
