It's a better start to the day, following a shaky start. A move through to key levels could see a clawback of some particularly heavy losses for the week.

EOS

EOS fell by 1.60% on Saturday. Reversing a 1.13% gain from Friday, EOS ended the day at $2.4528.

Bearish through the morning, EOS fell from an early morning intraday high $2.4926 to an early afternoon intraday low $2.4367.

Steering clear of the major resistance levels, EOS came within range of the first major support level at $2.4326.

Finding support at $2.43 levels EOS briefly visited $2.47 levels before a late pullback.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to steer clear of sub-$2.4600 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.4847.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from $2.47 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $2.4926 would likely pin EOS back from $2.50 levels.

Failure to steer clear of sub-$2.46 levels could see EOS hit reverse. A fall through the morning low $2.4499 would bring the first major support level at $2.4288 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$2.40 support levels. The second major support level at $2.4048 should limit any downside.

Ethereum would need to move back through to $127.40 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $128.15.
