It's a bullish start to the day for the majors... A Bitcoin move through to $8,500 levels would provide further support.

Ripple, Dash coin, Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum

EOS rose by just 0.06% on Tuesday. Following on from a 6.32% rally on Monday, EOS ended the day at $2.8541.

A bullish start to the day saw EOS rise to an early morning intraday high $2.8812 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2.9146, EOS slid to a mid-afternoon intraday low $2.7614.

Steering clear of the major support levels, EOS bounced back to $2.87 levels before easing back.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 1.80% to $2.9056. A bullish start to the day saw EOS rally from an early morning low $2.8505 to a high $2.9865.

EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.9031 and second major resistance level at $2.9520 early on.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to hold above the first major resistance level at $2.9031 to support another run at the second major resistance level at $2.9520.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from $2.90 levels.

Barring an extended broad-based crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $2.9520 would likely limit any upside on the day.

Failure to hold above the first major resistance level could see EOS hit reverse. A fall through the morning low $2.8505 to sub-$2.83 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.7833 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$2.80 levels.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to hold above the first major resistance level to support another run at the second major resistance level at $148.83.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break out from the morning high $148.00.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, however, Ethereum would likely come up short of $150 levels on the day.

In the event of an extended rally, Ethereum a visit to $150 could be on the cards before any pullback.

Failure to hold above the first major resistance level could see Ethereum give up the early gains. A fall through the morning low to sub-$142.4 levels would bring the first major support level at $139.50 into play.

Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer well clear of sub-$140 levels.
