Falling short of the major resistance levels, EOS fell back to a mid-day intraday low $4.0700.

EOS fell through the first major support level at $4.1017 before bouncing back to a late intraday high $4.2683.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through the morning high $4.2456 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $4.3142.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to breakout from Tuesday’s high $4.2683.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, resistance at $4.3000 would likely leave EOS short of the first major resistance level at $4.3142.

Failure to move back through the morning high could see EOS slide deeper into the red.

A fall back through to sub-$4.1920 levels would bring the first major support level at $4.1159 into play.

Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should continue to steer well clear of sub-$4.00 levels.
