Falling short of the first major resistance level at $4.0611, EOS fell to a mid-morning intraday low $3.7000.

The reversal saw EOS fall through the first major support level at $3.7322 before bouncing back to an afternoon high $3.9667.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through to $3.83 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $3.9637.

Support from the broader market would be needed for EOS to break back through the morning high $3.8247

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, however, Saturday’s high $3.9976 and first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move back through to $3.83 levels could see EOS fall deeper into the red.

A fall back through the morning low $3.7626 would bring the first major support level at $3.6661 into play before any recovery.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $3.5342.
