For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.8730 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $2.9784 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the first major support level.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $2.90 would likely leave EOS short of the major resistance levels.

Failure to move through to $2.8730 levels would see EOS struggle throughout the day.

A fall back through the morning low $2.6762 would bring the second major support level at $2.6273 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer well clear of sub-$2.65 levels on the day.
