It's a slow start to the day, with the majors struggling for direction early on. Avoiding heavy losses early on should lead to an afternoon rally.

EOS

EOS slid by 2.36% on Wednesday. Reversing a 1.09% gain from Tuesday, EOS ended the day at $2.4888.

Bearish from the start of the day, EOS fell from an early morning intraday high $2.5541 to an early afternoon intraday low $2.4580.

Steering clear of the resistance levels, EOS fell through the first major support level at $2.5025. A partial recovery to $2.50 levels late in the day was short-lived, with EOS closing out at sub-$2.50.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 0.12% to $2.4919. A range-bound start to the day saw EOS rise from an early morning low $2.4833 to a high $2.4929.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.50 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.5426.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through to $2.50 levels.

Barring an extended broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s high $2.5541 would likely limit any upside on the day.

Failure to move through to $2.50 levels could see EOS hit reverse. A fall through the morning low $2.4833 would bring the first major support level at $2.4465 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.4042.

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 2.12% on Wednesday. Following on from a 0.03% decline on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $124.96.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning intraday high $127.77 to a mid-day intraday low $123.16.

Steering clear of the major resistance levels, Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $126.31 and second major support level at $124.90.

Finding support late in the day, Ethereum broke back through the second major support level to revisit $125 levels before easing back.

The second major support level limited the downside at the day end.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.26% to $124.64. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $125.30 to a low $124.50.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the morning high $125.30 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $127.43.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break back through to $125 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, however, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s high $127.77 would likely limit any upside.

Failure to move through to $125.30 levels could see Ethereum see red for a 4th consecutive day. A pullback through the morning low $124.50 to $123 levels would bring the first major support level at $122.82 into play.

Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$120 levels on the day. The second major support level at $120.69 should limit the downside in the event of a pullback.

Looking at the Technical Indicators

Major Support Level: $122.82

Major Resistance Level: $127.43

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $257

For the day ahead

Ripple’s XRP will need to move back through to $0.1890 levels support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.1918.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break back through to $0.19 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, Wednesday’s high $0.19182 and the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.

Failure to move through to $0.1890 levels could see Ripple’s XRP struggle throughout the day.

A fall through to the morning low $0.18901 would bring the first major support level at $0.1867 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 $0.1841 should limit the downside on the day.

Major Support Level: $0.1867

Major Resistance Level: $0.1918
