Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2.7414, EOS fell back to a late afternoon intraday low $2.6299.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2.4996, EOS found late support to close out the day in the green.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through to $2.70 levels to support another run at the third major resistance level at $2.7353.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break through the morning high $2.7154.

Barring an extended broad-based crypto rally, resistance at $2.70 would likely limit any upside on the day.

Failure to move through to $2.70 levels could see EOS hit reverse. A fall back through to the major resistance levels would bring $2.65 levels into play before any recovery.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$2.60 levels. The first major support level at $2.6313 and the second major support level at $2.6096 should limit any downside.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to break back through to the first major resistance level to support a run at $137 levels.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break out from the morning high $135.90.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, however, resistance at $135 would likely continue to limit any upside on the day.

In the event of an extended rally, Ethereum could eye $140 levels before any pullback.

Failure to move back through the first major resistance level could see Ethereum hit reverse. A pullback through the morning low to sub-$134 levels would bring the first major support level at $132.51 into play.

Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer well clear of sub-$130 levels.

The second major resistance level at $130.88 should limit any downside on the day.
