For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through to $2.6350 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.6807.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through the to $2.67 levels.

Barring an extended broad-based crypto rally, Saturday’s high $2.6804 and first major resistance level would likely limit any upside later the day.
