EOS

EOS rose by 0.96% on Tuesday. Following on from a 0.02% gain on Monday, EOS ended the day at $3.6537.

A relatively bullish start to the day saw EOS rise to a late morning intraday high $3.6852 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3.7138, EOS slid to an early evening intraday low $3.5561.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $3.4994, EOS bounced back to $3.6 levels to end the day in the green.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 0.08% to $3.6565. A mixed start to the day saw EOS rise from an early morning low $3.6489 to a high $3.6693 before easing back.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through Tuesday’s high $3.6852 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $3.7082.

Support from the broader market would be needed for EOS to break through to $3.70 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, however, Tuesday’s high $3.6852 and first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move through Tuesday’s high could see EOS hit reverse.

A fall back through to sub-$3.63 levels would bring the first major support level at $3.5781 into play before any recovery.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$3.50 levels. The second major support level at $3.5026 should limit any downside.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through to Tuesday’s high $170.00 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $171.29.

In the event of a breakout, the second major resistance level at $173.40 would likely come into play.

Failure to move back through to $170 levels could see Ethereum hit reverse.

A fall back through to sub-$167.90 levels would bring the first major support level at $165.79 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer of sub-$160 levels for a 6th consecutive day.

The second major support level at $162.40 should limit any downside on the day.
