It's back into the red for the majors as the crypto market continues to whipsaw its way through the week...

Ripple, Dash coin, Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum

EOS

EOS surged by 11.71% on Wednesday. Reversing a 7.10% slide from Tuesday, EOS ended the day at $2.4700.

A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall to an early afternoon intraday low $2.1739 before making a move.

Steering clear of the major support levels, EOS rallied to a late intraday high $2.535. EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.3402 and the second major resistance level at $2.4693.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 1.18% to $2.4409. A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall from an early morning high $2.4885 to a low $2.4188.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through the morning high $2.4885 to $2.50 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.6120.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from $2.50 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely pin EOS back on the day.

Failure to move through to $2.50 levels could see EOS fall deeper into the red. A fall through the morning low $2.4188 would bring the first major support level at $2.2509 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at S2.0319.

Looking at the Technical Indicators
