It's a choppy start to the day. Failure to move back through to early highs could see the majors come back under pressure later in the morning.

EOS

EOS slid by 3.68% on Saturday. Reversing a 1.76% rise from Friday, EOS ended the day at $3.4963.

A bearish start to the day saw EOS slide from an intraday high $3.6355 to an early morning low $3.4969.

Steering clear of the major support and resistance levels, EOS recovered to $3.62 levels by late morning before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3.7734, EOS slid to a late intraday low $3.4903.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to break back through to $3.56 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $3.5911.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to breakout from the morning high $3.5627.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $3.6355 would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move through to $3.56 levels could see EOS hit reverse.

A fall back through to sub-$3.54 levels would bring the first major support level at $3.4459 into play.

Barring another broad-based crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$3.40 levels and the second major support level at $3.3955.

Ethereum

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through to $161 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $162.51

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Saturday’s high $162.35.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $162.51 and Saturday’s high should cap any upside.

In the event of a rally, the second major resistance at $164.91 would likely pin Ethereum back from $165 levels.

Failure to move back through to $161 levels could see Ethereum return to the red.

A fall through to sub-$160 levels would bring the first major support level at $157.56 into play before any recovery.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $154.01.

Looking at the Technical Indicators

Major Support Level: $157.56

Major Resistance Level: $162.51

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $257
