EOS

EOS fell by 0.97% on Monday. Partially reversing a 3.92% rally from Sunday, EOS ended the day at $2.5234.

A mixed morning saw EOS strike an early morning high $2.5961 before falling to a mid-morning low $2.5306.

EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.5910, whilst steering clear of the major support levels. Through the early afternoon, EOS rallied to a mid-afternoon intraday high $2.6142 before hitting reverse.

EOS broke back through the first major resistance level before sliding to a late intraday low $2.5007.

In spite of the pullback, EOS steered clear of the first major support level at $2.4775.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 0.05% to $2.5222. A mixed start to the day saw EOS fall to an early morning low $2.5090 before striking a high $2.5276.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.5460 levels to support another run at the first major resistance level at $2.5915.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.5276.

Barring an extended broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely pin EOS back from Monday’s high $2.6142.

Failure to move through to $2.5460 levels could see EOS slide deeper into the red. A fall through the morning low $2.5090 would bring sub-$2.50 levels into play before any recovery.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer clear of the first major support level at $2.4780.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through to $129.80 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $133.29.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break back through to $130 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, however, Ethereum resistance at $130 would likely pin Ethereum back on the day.

In the event of a breakout, resistance at $135 would likely continue to limit any upside on the day.

Failure to move through to $129.80 levels could see Ethereum take another hit. A pullback through to sub-$127 levels would bring the first major support level at $124.21 into play.

Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $120.65.

Failure to move through to $0.1930 levels could see Ripple’s XRP slide into the red.

A fall through to sub-$0.1900 levels would bring the first major support level at $0.1866 into play.
