It's a bullish start to the day for the majors. A move through to key levels would deliver further upside after the crypto bulls delivered in January.

EOS

EOS slid by 3.77% on Friday. Partially reversing a 9.06% rally from Thursday, EOS ended the month up 60.5% to $4.1579.

A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall from an early morning intraday high $4.3696 to an early afternoon intraday low $4.0272.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $4.0135, EOS recovered to $4.10 levels to limit the loss.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 1.41% to $4.2166. A bullish start to the day saw EOS rise from an early morning low $4.1499 to a high $4.2168.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $4.25 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $4.3426.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through to $4.30 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $4.3426 and Friday’s high $4.3696 would likely limit in any upside.

Failure to move through $4.25 levels could see EOS return to the red.

A fall back through to sub-$4.1850 levels would bring the first major support level at $4.0002 into play.

Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer well clear of sub-$4.00 levels.
