For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.45 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $2.5053 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from Monday’s high $2.4917.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.

Failure to move back through to $2.45 levels would see EOS slide into the red.

A fall through the morning low to sub-$2.39 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.2833 into play.

Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$2.20 levels.
