For the day ahead

EOS would need to avoid a fall through the $3.0743 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $3.2328.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break through to $3.20 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the major first resistance level would likely cap any upside.

A fall through the $3.0743 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2.9809 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$2.90 levels. The second major support level sits at $2.8224.
