Support kicks in early across the crypto board. Failure to move through to key levels by late morning could test the resilience, however.

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

EOS

EOS tumbled by 13.48% on Wednesday. Reversing a 5.25% rally from Tuesday, EOS ended the day at $3.9719.

Relatively range-bound through the morning, EOS rose to a morning high $4.6072 before falling to a late morning low $4.4813.

Steering clear of the major support and resistance levels, EOS rose to an afternoon intraday high $4.6134 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $4.7520, EOS tumbled to a late intraday low $3.6253.

EOS fell through the major support levels before moving back through the third major support level at $3.6901.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 1.33% to $4.0247. A relatively bullish start to the day saw EOS rise from an early morning low $3.9546 to a high $4.0380.

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

EOS/USD 20/02/20 daily Chart

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $4.0700 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $4.5151.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from this morning’s high $4.0380.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, the first major resistance level at $4.5151 would likely be untested on the day.

Failure to move through to $4.070 levels could see EOS return to the red.

A fall through to sub-$4.00 levels would bring the first major support level at $3.5270 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer well clear of the second major support level at $3.0821.

Looking at the Technical Indicators

Major Support Level: $3.5270

Major Resistance Level: $4.5151

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $6.62

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through to $265.30 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $280.53 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $280 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $280.00 would likely leave Ethereum short of the first major resistance level.

Failure to move through to $265.30 levels could see Ethereum hit reverse.

A fall through the morning low and 23.6% FIB of $257.00 would bring the first major support level at $243.40 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$250 levels.

Looking at the Technical Indicators

Major Support Level: $243.40

Major Resistance Level: $280.53
