The crypto bears look to fight back. Heavier losses could be on the cards if key levels aren't hit by the early afternoon.

Coins of crypto currency are presented on a dark background. Virtual money concept.

EOS

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.

For the day ahead

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.
