It's a bearish start to the day for the majors after Friday's breakout. A move through Friday's highs would bring resistance levels back into play, however.

EOS

EOS rallied by 7.43% on Friday. Reversing a 5.37% slide from Thursday, EOS ended the day at $2.6508.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2.3973, EOS rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $2.6807.

EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.5754 before easing back. The second major resistance level at $2.6830 limited the upside on the day.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to Friday’s high $2.6807 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.7414.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break through the morning high $2.6572 levels.

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

Failure to move through to $2.68 levels could see EOS slide deeper into the red. A fall back through to sub-$2.60 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.4996 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer well clear of the second major support level at $2.3483.
