For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through to $2.20 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $2.6893 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.0535.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, resistance at $2.00 would likely leave EOS short of the first major resistance level.

Failure to move back through to $2.20 levels could see EOS fall back into the red.

A fall back through the morning low $1.4200 would bring the first major support level at $1.2824 into play.

Barring an extended crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$1.00 levels.
