EOS

EOS rallied by 9.06% on Thursday. Reversing a 2.17% slide from Wednesday, EOS ended the day at $4.3229.

A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall to an early morning intraday low $3.8932 before making a move.

EOS fell through the first major support level at $3.9049 before rallying to late intraday high $4.3918.

The rally saw EOS break through the major resistance levels of the day before easing back through the third major resistance level at $4.3573.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 0.11% to $4.3276. Tracking the broader market, EOS rose to an early morning high $4.3696 before falling to a low $4.2843.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move Thursday’s high to $4.3918 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $4.5121.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $4.3696.

Barring an extended crypto rally, EOS would likely come up short of $4.5 levels and the first major resistance level.

Failure to move through Thursday’s high $4.3918 could see EOS return to the red.

A fall back through the early morning low $4.2843 to sub-$4.20 levels would bring the first major support level at $4.0135 into play.

Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer well clear of sub-$4.00 levels.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through Thursday’s high $186.89 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $190.96.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $190 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, Ethereum would likely struggle to break out from $187 levels.

In the event of a rebound, the first major resistance at $190.96 would likely limit any upside.

Failure to move back through Thursday’s high $186.89 could see Ethereum fall deeper into the red.

A fall through the morning low $183.00 to sub-$180.50 levels would bring the first major support level at $174.07 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$170 levels on the day.
