Ethereum

Ethereum traded sideways all through Wednesday and ended the day pretty much where it started.

It started bullish and pushed through the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance within the first hour.

However, buying volumes were low, and by the second hour of the day, bears retook control.

The 23.6% Fibonacci, now support, gave way, and just before daybreak, Ethereum had tested the multi-month support at $4063.84.

This support held, and Ethereum was bullish for the better part of the morning, up until the early afternoon when it hit the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance at $4254.79.

However, this resistance proved too strong for bulls and a minor correction followed. Volumes were low though, and after a 3-day selloff, Ethereum was getting oversold.

This saw bulls retake control in the early evening, and for the rest of the day. By the last hour of the day, Ethereum was trading at the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance.

Ethereum started Thursday trading in a continuation of the bullish momentum that started in late Wednesday trading.

Bulls were in control for most of the early morning. However, bullish momentum waned just before daybreak, when it hit intraday resistance at $4341.92.

At the time of going to press, Ethereum had retested the 23.6% Fibonacci, which is now supported at $4254.79.

A glance at the day ahead

In the day, the key levels to watch are the intra-day resistance at $4341.92, and the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4254.79.

If bulls take control and push Ethereum through the intra-day resistance at $4341.92, the next key level to watch would be the 38.2% Fibonacci support at $4254.79.

If the 38.2% resistance is broken, prices above $4400 could be seen in the day.

On the other hand, if bears take control and push Ethereum through the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4254.79, the next key level to watch would be the multi-month support at $4063.84.

If the multi-month support is broken, prices below $4000 could be seen in the day.

It bounced off this support, and by midday, hit the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $233.44.

Bulls failed to push Litecoin through this resistance, but selling volumes were low as well. This saw Litecoin trade in a range just below the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $233.44, all through the evening.
