Steering clear of the major support and resistance levels, EOS bounced back to a late intraday high $2.6784.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through to $2.60 levels to support another break through the first major resistance level at $2.6725.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break through to $2.70 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $2.70 levels would likely leave EOS short of the second major resistance level at $2.7219.

Failure to move back through to $2.60 levels could see EOS hit reverse.

A fall back through to sub-$2.63 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.5796 into play before any recovery.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$2.50 levels on the day.

The second major support level at $2.5361 should limit any downside.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$160 levels on the day.

The second major support level at $164.90 should limit any downside.
