For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.50 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $2.5770 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.4588.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the major first resistance level would likely limit any upside on the day.

Failure to move back through to $2.50 levels could see EOS spend another day in the red.

A fall through Thursday’s low $2.4059 would bring the first major support level at $2.3710 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.2854.
