For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through the first major support level to $4.10 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $4.2534.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through to $4.00 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, however, EOS would likely fall short of $4.10 levels on the day.

Failure to move back through to $4.10 levels could see EOS fall deeper into the red.

A fall back through the morning low $3.7700 would bring the second major support level at $3.7258 back into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should continue to steer well clear of sub-$3.70 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$230 support levels.

The second major support level at $230.59 should limit any downside.
