It's a bearish start to the day. Failure to move back through to key levels will bring support levels into play before any recovery.

Coins of crypto currency are presented on a dark background. Virtual money concept.

EOS

EOS rose by 1.73% on Monday. Reversing a 0.55% fall from Sunday, EOS ended the day at $2.6618.

A particularly bullish morning saw EOS rally from a morning low $2.6102 to an early morning intraday high $2.7563.

EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.6657 and second major resistance level at $2.7136 before hitting reverse.

The reversal saw EOS slide back to a late afternoon intraday low $2.6050 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2.5807, EOS recovered to $2.66 levels to end the day in the green.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 0.84% to $2.6394. A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall from an early morning high $2.6590 to a low $2.6356.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.6750 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $2.7437 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.6590.

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

Failure to move back through to $2.6750 levels could see EOS fall deeper into the red.

A fall through to the morning low $2.6356 would bring the first major support level at $2.5924 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.5231.

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 3.76% on Monday. Following on from a 3.27% gain on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $214.83.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rally from an intraday low $206.99 to a mid-morning intraday high $216.99.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $211.67 and second major resistance level at $216.28 before hitting reverse.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through to $213 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $218.88 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Monday’s high $216.99.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $215 would likely leave Ethereum short of the first major resistance level.

Failure to move through to $213 levels could see Ethereum take a bigger hit later in the day.

A fall back through the morning low to sub-$210 levels would bring the first major support level at $208.88 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$200 levels.

The second major support level at $202.94 should limit any downside on the day.

Looking at the Technical Indicators

Major Support Level: $208.88

Major Resistance Level: $218.88

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $257
