EOS, Ethereum and Ripple’s XRP – Daily and Hourly Tech Analysis – July 12th, 2020
EOS
EOS slipped by 0.10% on Saturday. Following on from a 1.00% decline on Friday, EOS ended the day at $2.6235.
It was a mixed day for EOS, though relatively range-bound.
An early morning intraday high $2.6400 came up short of the first major resistance level at $2.6587.
Pulling back through the morning, EOS fell to an early afternoon intraday low $2.5941.
EOS steered clear of the first major support level at $2.5842. A late recovery to $2.62 levels limited the loss on the day.
For the day ahead
Support, Resistance, MACD, and EMA – Hourly Candlesticks
Looking at the MACD, we’ve seen a widening of the bullish histograms early on, supportive of a bullish day ahead.
The spreads between the 50-day EMA and 100 and 200 EMAs have also widened further supporting an upside.
Avoiding a fall through the day’s pivot level at $2.6192 will be key to support the upward momentum.
Barring an extended crypto rally, R1 @ 2.6443 and the morning high $2.6499 would likely cap any upside.
A fall through the day’s pivot level at $2.6192 would bring the S1 @ 2.5984 into play before any recovery.
Barring an extended sell-off, EOS should avoid sub-$2.55 levels. S2 @ 2.5733 should limit any downside.
At the time of writing, EOS was up by 0.47% to $2.6359. A bullish start to the day saw EOS rise from an early morning low $2.6243 to a high $2.6499.
EOS broke through R1 @ $2.6443 early on before pullback to sub-$2.40 levels.
Trend Analysis – Daily Candlesticks – Near-term Bullish Trend Sustained
EOS would break back through Thursday’s high $2.7296 to target the first key resistance level at $2.9000.
A breakout from $2.9000 would bring the second key resistance level at $3.1104 into play. EOS would need to break out from $3.1104 to support the near-term bullish trend formed back in mid-March.
A pullback through to sub-$2.4000 levels would bring the key support level at $2.1926 into play.
In the event of a breakdown through the key support level, a near-term bearish trend would form.
Steering clear of sub-$2.4000 is key near-term.
