It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. A move back through Thursday's highs would signal another breakout.

EOS

EOS rallied by 10.59% on Thursday. Reversing a 1.96% fall from Wednesday, EOS ended the day at $2.6605.

A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall to an early morning intraday low $2.3371 before making a move.

EOS fell through the first major support level at $2.3680 before striking an early afternoon intraday high $2.7380.

Moving back through the first major support level, EOS broke through the day’s major resistance levels before easing back.

A pullback through the third major resistance level at $2.6437 was short-lived, however. Finding late support, EOS broke back through the third major resistance level to wrap up the day at $2.66 levels.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 0.50% to $2.6473. A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall from an early morning high $2.6750 to a low $2.6108.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through to $2.70 levels to support another run at the first major resistance level at $2.8200.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to breakout from Thursday’s high $2.7380.

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

Failure to move through to $2.70 levels could see EOS struggle throughout the day.

A fall back through to sub-$2.58 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.4191 into play before any recovery.

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