For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.5050 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.5754.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through to $2.50 levels.

Barring an extended broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely pin EOS back from $2.60 levels.

Failure to move through to $2.5050 levels could see EOS slide deeper into the red. A fall back through Thursday’s low $2.4344 would bring the first major support level at $2.3973 into play.

Barring another crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.3268.

Ethereum would need to move through to $127.60 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $129.38.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break through the morning high $127.22.

In the event of an extended rally, the second major resistance level at $131.96 could come into play before any pullback.

Failure to move through to $127.60 levels could see Ethereum slide deeper into the red. A pullback through the morning low to sub-$126 levels would bring the first major support level at $125.03 into play.

Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer well clear of the second major support level at $123.26.
