Ethereum and Stellar’s Lumen Daily Tech Analysis – 02/10/19

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 2.8% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 6.95% rally from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $176.15.

A particularly bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rally to an early morning intraday high $185.89.

Despite the early breakout, Ethereum came up short of the first major resistance level at $186.95.

Succumbing to market forces, Ethereum tumbled to a late afternoon intraday low $173.85 before finding support.

Ethereum recovered to $178 levels late in the day before a pullback to $173 levels in the final hour.

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 down by 0.03% to $176.1. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise from an early morning low $174.15 to a high $178.05 before easing back.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the morning high $178.05 to $178.7 levels to bring $180 levels into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through the first major resistance level at $183.41.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, we would expect Ethereum to come up short of the second major resistance level at $190.67.

Failure to move through to $178.7 levels could see Ethereum slide deeper into the red. A fall through the morning low $174.15 to $173 levels would bring the first major support level at $171.37 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off through the day, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$170 levels.

Stellar’s Lumen left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

Stellar’s Lumen would need to move through to $0.0600 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.06160.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, to break out from $0.0590 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, Stellar’s Lumen would likely face strong resistance at $0.0600 to limit any upside.

In the event of a broad-based rebound, $0.0620 levels could come back into play before any pullback.

Failure to move through to $0.0600 levels could see Stellar’s Lumen struggle throughout the day.

A fall through to Tuesday’s low $0.058409 would bring the first major support level at $0.0577 into play before any recovery.

Barring an extended sell-off through the day, Stellar’s Lumen should steer clear of sub-$0.0570 support levels.
