For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through to $2.80 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $2.8415 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.8249.

Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $2.8415 would likely limit any upside.

Failure to move back through to $2.80 levels would see EOS hit reverse.

A fall through the morning low to sub-$2.7150 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.6342 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer well clear of sub-$2.60 levels.
