For the day ahead

EOS would need to avoid sub-$2.70 levels to support another run at the first major resistance level at $2.7929.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.7979.

Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday high $2.8319 would likely limit the upside.

Failure to avoid sub-$2.70 levels could see EOS spend another day in the red.

A fall back through to sub-$2.6750 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.5178 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, EOS should continue to steer clear of sub-$2.60 levels.

Ethereum would need to avoid sub-$170 levels to support another run at the first major resistance level at $173.77.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to breakout from the morning high $173.49.
