Ethereum
Ethereum rose by 1.79% on Thursday. Following from a 1.07% gain on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,399.99.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,317.25 before making a move.
Steering clear of the major support levels, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high and a new swing hi $2,646.20.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $2,474 and the second major resistance level at $2,590 before hitting reverse.
The reversal saw Ethereum slide to a late intraday low $2,304.00.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,239, Ethereum bounced back to $2,400 levels before ending the day at $2,390 levels.
The first major resistance level at $2,474 had pinned Ethereum back late in the day.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.36% to $2,432.74. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,371.18 before rising to a high $2,432.74.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the pivot level at $2,450 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2,596.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,500 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s new swing hi $2,464.20 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $2,792.
Failure to move through the $2,450 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,254 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,200 levels. The second major support level sits at $2,108.
