It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to move back through Saturday's highs would bring support levels into play.

EOS

EOS rose by 0.65% on Saturday. Following an 8.69% tumble on Friday, EOS ended the day at $2.5122.

A bullish start to the day saw EOS rise to a mid-morning intraday high $2.5493 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2.6863, EOS slid to a late intraday low $2.4289.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2.3580, EOS bounced back to $2.52 levels before easing back.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 1.19% to $2.4823. A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall from an early morning high $2.5256 to a low $2.4767.

EOS left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.50 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.5647.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from Saturday’s high $2.5493.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $2.50 would likely leave EOS short of the first major resistance level.

Failure to move through to $2.50 levels could see EOS fall deeper into the red.

A fall back through the morning low $2.4767 would bring the first major support level at $2.4443 into play.

Barring another crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.3764.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through to $158 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $161.97.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to breakout from Saturday’s high $161.50.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $160 would likely leave Ethereum short of the first major resistance level.

Failure to move back through to $158 levels could see Ethereum fall deeper into the red.

A fall through to sub-$156 levels would bring the first major support level at $154.67 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$150 support levels.

The second major support level at $150.78 should limit any downside on the day.
