It's been a mixed start to the day for the majors. Failure to move back through the early highs could see support levels come into play.

Coins of crypto currency are presented on a dark background. Virtual money concept.

EOS

EOS rose by 2.42% on Wednesday. Reversing a 0.62% decline from Tuesday, EOS ended the day at $2.2687.

A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall to a late afternoon intraday low $2.1530.

The sell-off saw EOS fall through the first major support level at $2.1845 before making a late move.

Finding support at the second major support level at $2.1530, EOS rallied to a final hour intraday high $2.2937.

Breaking back through the support levels, EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.2487 and the second major resistance level at $2.2816.

A late pullback, however, saw EOS fall back through the second major resistance level.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 0.85% to $2.2881.  A bullish start to the day saw EOS rise from an early morning low $2.2696 to a high $2.3174 before easing back.

EOS left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through to $2.30 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.3239.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.3174.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.

Failure to move back through to $2.30 levels could see EOS hit reverse.

A fall back through to sub-$2.24 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.1832 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should continue to steer clear of sub-$2.10 levels.

Major Support Level: $2.1832

Major Resistance Level: $2.3239

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $6.62

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the morning high $138.95 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $139.49.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $139 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $139.49 would likely leave Ethereum short of $140.

Failure to move back through the morning high could see Ethereum struggle later in the day.

A fall through to sub-$134 levels would bring the first major support level at $130.69 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer well clear of the second major support level at $125.25.

Major Resistance Level: $139.49
