For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through to $2.00 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $2.0672 back into play.

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

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $2.0672 would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move back through to $2.00 levels could see EOS fall back into the red.

A fall back through to sub-$1.8943 levels would bring the first major support level at $1.7308 into play.

Barring another crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer well clear of sub-$1.70 levels.
