It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. A fall through the pivot levels would bring support levels into play and some heavy losses.

Falling short of the major resistance levels, EOS slid to a mid-day intraday low $3.4824 before making a move.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to avoid a fall through the $3.7826 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $4.0829.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to breakout from Sunday’s high $3.9863.

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

A fall through the pivot level at $3.7826 would bring the first major support level at $3.5790 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$3.50 levels. The second major support level sits at $3.2787.
