The crypto bears look to fight back. Heavier losses could be on the cards if key levels aren't hit by the early afternoon.
EOS fell by 0.67% on Wednesday. Following a 22.09% rally from Tuesday, EOS ended the day at $3.7647.
A mixed start to the day saw EOS strike an early morning intraday high $3.9400 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $4.1995, EOS fell to a mid-morning intraday low $3.5687.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $3.2453, EOS recovered to $3.8 levels before falling back to $3.6 levels.
Finding support late, however, EOS moved back through to $3.7 levels to limit the loss on the day.
At the time of writing, EOS was down by 4.79% to $3.5845. A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall from an early morning high $3.7961 to a low $3.5216.
Steering clear of the major resistance levels, EOS fell through the first major support level at $3.5756.
EOS would need to move back through to $3.76 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $3.9469.
Support from the broader market would be needed for EOS to move back through this morning’s high $3.7961.
Barring another broad-based crypto rebound, however, EOS would likely come up short of the morning high.
In the event of a rebound, Wednesday’s high $3.94 and first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
Failure to move back through to $3.76 levels would see EOS struggle throughout the day.
A fall back through the first major support level at $3.5756 would bring sub-$3.5 levels into play before any recovery.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $3.3865.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 3.37% to $160.68. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum slide from an early morning high $167.28 to a low $158.17.

Ethereum would need to move back through to $166 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $172.60.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break through the morning high $167.28.
Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, however, resistance at $170 would likely cap any upside.
Failure to move back through to $166 levels could see Ethereum spend the day in the red.
A fall back through the first major support level at $159.55 would bring the second major support level at $152.82 into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should avoid a return to the morning low $158.17.
