Ethereum and Stellar’s Lumen Daily Tech Analysis – 05/11/19

In This Article:

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 2.49% on Monday. Reversing a 0.83% decline from Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $186.25.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $180.45 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $178.89, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $189.5.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $184.78 and the second major resistance level at $187.84.

A late pullback saw Ethereum fall back through the second major resistance level to limit the upside on the day.

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 0.54% to $187.25. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $185.37 before striking a high $187.66.

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

For the day ahead

A move back through the morning high $187.66 to $188 levels would support a run at the first major resistance level at $190.35.

Ethereum would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from Monday’s high $189.5.

Barring an extended rally through the day, Monday’s high and first major resistance level would likely pin Ethereum back.

In the event of a crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $194.45 would likely come into play.

Failure to move back through the morning high $187.66 could see Ethereum hit reverse.

A fall through the morning low $185.37 would bring the first major support level at $181.30 into play.

Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of Monday’s low $180.45.
