EOS

EOS slid by 2.37% on Monday. Reversing a 2.46% rally on Sunday, EOS ended the day at $2.6324.

A choppy start to the day saw EOS rise to a mid-morning intraday high $2.7248 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2.7429, EOS tumbled to a mid-afternoon intraday low $2.607.

The reversal saw EOS fall through the first major support level at $2.6410 before finding support.

Steering clear of sub-$2.60 levels, EOS recovered to $2.64 levels before easing back in the final hour.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 0.09% to $2.6299. A mixed start to the day saw EOS fall to an early morning low $2.6134 before striking a high $2.6390.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through to $2.65 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.7025.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through the morning high $2.6390.

Barring an extended broad-based crypto rally, Monday’s high $2.7248 and first major resistance level would likely limit any upside later the day.

Failure to move through to $2.65 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.5847 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.5369.

Ethereum fell by 2.39% on Monday. Partially reversing a 4.96% rally on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $131.1.

A relatively bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a mid-morning intraday high $135.97 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $139.03, Ethereum slid to a mid-afternoon intraday low $129.79.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $128.40, Ethereum recovered to $131 levels to limit the downside.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through to $132.30 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $134.78.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break back through to $133 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, however, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.

In the event of an extended rally, the second major resistance level at $138.47 could come into play before any pullback.

Failure to move through to $132.30 levels could see Ethereum slide deeper into the red. A pullback through the morning low $130.31 would bring the first major support level at $128.60 into play.

Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $126.11.

Looking at the Technical Indicators

Major Support Level: $128.60

Major Resistance Level: $134.78

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $257
