It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to break through to key levels will leave support levels in play today.

EOS

EOS rallied by 4.01% on Thursday. Following on from a 3.77% gain on Wednesday, EOS ended the day at $2.6261.

A choppy start to the day saw EOS fall to a mid-morning intraday low $2.4687 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2.4445, EOS rallied to a late intraday high $2.6519.

EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.5839 and the second major resistance level at $2.6416.

A pullback late in the day, however, saw EOS fall back through the second major resistance level.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 2.22% to $2.5678. A bearish start to the day saw EOS slide from an early morning high $2.6351 to a low $2.5361.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.5820 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $2.6958 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from Thursday’s high $2.6519.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, however, resistance at $2.60 would likely leave EOS short of the major resistance levels.

Failure to move back through to $2.5820 levels would see EOS slide deeper into the red.

A fall through the morning low $2.5361 would bring the first major support level at $2.5126 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.3990.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through to $201.80 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $207.87 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Thursday’s high $206.25.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $205 would likely leave Ethereum short of the major resistance levels.

Failure to move back through to $201.80 levels could see Ethereum take a bigger hit.

A fall back through the first major support level would bring the second major support level at $191.23 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$190 levels.

Ripple’s XRP will need to move through to $0.2030 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $0.2076 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break out from Thursday’s high $0.20642.
