It's back into the red for the pack. Failure to hit key levels by the early afternoon could well deliver heavier losses on the day.

EOS

EOS rose by 1.09% on Tuesday. Reversing a 0.97% fall from Monday, EOS ended the day at $2.5519.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2.4780, EOS bounced back to an early afternoon intraday high $2.5730.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2.5915, EOS eased back to $2.50 levels before finding late support.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 0.66% to $2.5350. A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall from an early morning high $2.5541 to a low $2.5248.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.5380 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.5871.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the Tuesday’s high $2.5730.

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

Failure to move through to $2.5380 levels could see EOS slide deeper into the red. A fall through the morning low $2.5248 would bring the first major support level at $2.5025 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.4532.

Ethereum would need to move through to $127.90 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $129.31.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break out from the first major support level at $126.31.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, however, the first major resistance level would likely leave Ethereum short of $130 for a 2nd consecutive day.

Failure to move through to $127.90 levels could see Ethereum see red for a 3rd consecutive day. A pullback through the morning low $125.00 would bring the second major support level at $124.90 into play.

Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$124 levels on the day.

Ripple’s XRP will need to move back through to $0.1915 levels support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.1944.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break out from the morning high $0.19182.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, Tuesday’s high $0.19418 and the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.

Failure to move through to $0.1915 levels could see Ripple’s XRP slide deeper into the red.

A fall through to sub-$0.1890 levels would bring the first major support level at $0.1883 back into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Ripple’s XRP should steer well clear of sub-$0.18 levels. The second major support level at $0.1851 should limit the downside on the day.
