It's been a mixed start to the day for the majors. A move through key levels by late morning would bring resistance levels into play.

EOS

EOS fell by 1.73% on Friday. Partially reversing a 4.01% rally from Thursday, EOS ended the day at $2.5808.

Another choppy start to the day saw EOS slide to an early morning intraday low $2.5361 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2.5126, EOS rallied to a late morning intraday high $2.6627.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2.6958, EOS slid back to $2.54 levels before finding late support.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.60 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $2.6503 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.6117.

Barring an extended crypto rally, however, the major first resistance level would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move back through to $2.60 levels would see EOS fall back into the red.

A fall through the morning low $2.5705 would bring the first major support level at $2.5237 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.4666.

Ethereum would need to move back through to $196.80 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $202.22 into play.

For the day ahead

Ripple’s XRP will need to avoid sub-$0.20 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.2035.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break out from $0.2020 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $0.20484 would likely limit any upside.

Failure to avoid sub-$0.20 levels could see Ripple’s XRP give up the early gains.

A fall back through the morning low $0.19647 would bring the first major support level at $0.1940 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Ripple’s XRP should steer clear of sub-$0.19 support levels.
