The majors find support after Saturday's sell-off. Failure to hit key levels, however, could deliver another crypto meltdown.

Ripple, Dash coin, Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum

EOS

EOS tumbled by 11.38% on Saturday. Following a 0.08% gain on Friday, EOS ended the day at $4.75.

Bearish throughout the day, EOS fell from an early morning intraday high $5.3872 to a late afternoon intraday low $4.5060.

Steering clear of the major resistance levels, EOS fell through the day’s major support levels.

Through the late part of the day, EOS found support to wrap up the day at $4.75 levels. In spite of the partial recovery, EOS failed to break back through the third major support level at $4.9214.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 1.42% to $4.8173. A bullish start to the day saw EOS rise from an early morning low $4.6756 to a high $4.8500.

EOS left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $4.88 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $5.2561.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through to $5.00 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $5.2561 would likely cap the upside on the day.

Failure to move through to $4.88 levels could see EOS give up the early gains.

A fall back through the morning low $4.6756 would bring the first major support level at $4.3749 into play.

Barring another crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer of sub-$4.00 levels and the second major support level at $3.9999.

Major Support Level: $4.3749

Major Resistance Level: $5.2561

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 7.35% on Saturday. Reversing a 6.67% rally from Friday, Ethereum ended the day at $264.92.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $296.12, Ethereum tumbled to a late afternoon intraday low $261.35.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $268.27 before finding support.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through to $272 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $282.83 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from the morning high $274.00.

Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $280.00 would likely leave Ethereum short of the first major resistance level.

Failure to move through to $272 levels could see Ethereum slide into the red.

A fall back through the morning low $258 would bring the 23.6% FIB of $257 and the first major support level at $254.18 into play.

Barring another crypto meltdown, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$250 levels.

Looking at the Technical Indicators

Major Support Level: $254.18

Major Resistance Level: $282.83

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $257

38.2% FIB Retracement Level: $367

A fall back through to sub-$0.30 levels would bring the first major support level at $0.2855 into play.
