It's a positive start to the year for the majors. Steering clear of key levels through the morning would support a breakout later in the day.

EOS fell by 1.54% on Tuesday. Following on from a 2.37% slide on Monday, EOS ended the day at $2.5904.

Steering clear of the major support and resistance levels, EOS struck an early afternoon intraday high $2.6591 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2.7025, EOS slid to a late intraday low $2.5723.

EOS fell through the first major support level at $2.5847 before wrapping up the day at $2.59 levels.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 0.94% to $2.6148. A bullish start to the day saw EOS rise from an early morning low $2.5794 to a high $2.6348.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to steer clear of sub-$2.61 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.6422.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through the morning high $2.6348.

Barring an extended broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $2.6422 would likely limit any upside later the day.

Failure to steer clear of sub-$2.61 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.5554 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.5205.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through to $130 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $131.95.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break back through the morning high $130.5.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, however, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.

In the event of an extended rally, the second major resistance level at $135.37 could come into play before any pullback.

Failure to move through to $130 levels could see Ethereum hit reverse. A pullback through the morning low to $128.12 would bring the first major support level at $126.36 into play.

Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $124.19.
