EOS rose by 3.90% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 6.90% slide from Saturday, EOS ended the week down 32.93% at $2.0526.

Steering clear of the major support and resistance levels, EOS slid to $2.000 before striking a late intraday high $2.1600.

EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.0949 before falling back to sub-$2.06 levels.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 2.09% to $2.0096. A mixed start to the day saw EOS rise to an early morning high $2.0577 before falling to a low $1.9932.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through to $2.060 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $2.1567 back into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.0577.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $2.100 would likely leave EOS short of the first major resistance level.

Failure to move back through to $2.060 levels could see EOS fall deeper into the red.

A fall back through the morning low to sub-$1.9932 levels would bring the first major support level at $1.9517 into play.

Barring another crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer well clear of the second major support level at $1.8509.
