EOS

EOS rose by 0.74% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 3.49% slide from Monday, EOS ended the day at $2.5231.

A choppy start to the day saw EOS rise to a mid-morning high $2.5530 before sliding to a late morning intraday low $2.4844.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2.4105, EOS rallied to an early afternoon intraday high $2.5729.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2.6408, EOS fell back to sub-$2.53 levels to limit the upside on the day.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 0.10% to $2.5255. A mixed start to the day saw EOS fall to an early morning low $2.5098 before striking a high $2.5382.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through to $2.5270 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.5692.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.5382.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $2.5729 should limit any upside.

Failure to move back through to $2.5270 levels could see EOS give up the early gains.

A fall back through the morning low $2.5098 would bring the first major support level at $2.4807 into play before any recovery.

Barring a crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.4383.
