For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.65 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $2.6657 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.6379.

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

Failure to move back through to $2.65 levels would see EOS hit reverse.

A fall through to sub-$2.6290 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.5807 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.5436.
