Daily chart of the ETH/USDT pair
On the bullish side, immediate resistance appears at the 100-day EMA around $2,356, followed directly by the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent move at $2,373, which is applied between the high of January 14 at $3,403 and the low of February 6 at $1,748. A daily close above this zone would open the way toward the 50% Fibonacci retracement at $2,570, with additional hurdles at the 200-day EMA at $2,668 and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement around $2,766.
On the downside, initial support aligns with the 50-day EMA at $2,190, followed by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at $2,130, where buyers are expected to re-enter. A decisive break below this range would weaken the current rebound structure and reveal further losses within the broader corrective phase.
As for XRP, its price shows a slight positive trend, remaining just above the 50-day EMA at around $1.41, and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at $1.39, identified between the February 6 low at $1.12 and the February 15 high at $1.67. However, the overall trend remains limited, with the digital currency used for transfers trading below the 100-day EMA near $1.55, with the RSI oscillating in the upper fifty range, and the MACD indicator turning positive, indicating a recovery in bullish momentum but not yet dominant.
