After an early fall, it's been a bullish morning for the majors. Failure to move back through early highs will test later, however.

Binance is a finance exchange market. Crypto Currency background concept.

EOS

EOS slid by 4.72% on Sunday. Reversing a 4.44% rally from Saturday, EOS ended the week up 4.09% to $2.6045.

A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall from an early morning intraday high $2.7411 to an early afternoon intraday low $2.5366.

Steering clear of the first major resistance level at $2.7999, EOS fell through the first major support level at $2.6459 and second major support level at $2.5542.

Finding late support, EOS broke back through the second major support level to limit the loss on the day.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 2.04% to $2.6577. A mixed start to the day saw EOS fall to an early morning low $2.5924 before striking a high $2.6640.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through to $2.70 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.7182.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.6640.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $2.7411 should limit any upside.

Failure to move back through to $2.70 levels could see EOS give up the early gains.

A fall back through to sub-$2.6275 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.5137 into play before any recovery.

Barring a crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$2.60 levels on the day.
