For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $3.6570 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $3.7315.

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

A fall back through the morning low $3.6022 would bring the first major support level at $3.5697 into play before any recovery.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$3.50 levels and the second major support level at $3.4952.
