It's been a mixed start to the day. Failure to move back through to key levels by late morning could see the majors take a bigger hit on the day.

EOS rose by 1.11% on Friday. Following on from a 0.85% gain on Thursday, EOS ended the day at $4.0447.

EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $4.1237 before easing back to sub-$4.00 levels.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $4.0650 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $4.1750.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the early morning high $4.1063.

In the event of an extended crypto rally on the day, EOS could visit $4.3 levels before any pullback.

The second major resistance level at $4.3052 would likely limit any upside, however.

Failure to move through to $4.0650 levels could see EOS hit reverse

A fall back through the morning low $4.0100 would bring the first major support level at $3.9324 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer well clear of sub-$3.80 levels. The Second major support level at $3.8200 should limit any downside.
