EOS

EOS slid by 5.59% on Friday. Reversing a 2.74% gain from Thursday, EOS ended the day at $3.2508.

It was a mixed start to the day. EOS dipped to an early morning low $3.3806 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $3.3725, EOS rallied to a mid-morning intraday high $3.6292.

EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $3.4882 and the second major resistance level at $3.5323.

The upside was short-lived, however, with EOS sliding to a late intraday low $3.2195.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through the $3.3665 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $3.5135.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through to $3.50 levels.

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

Failure to move through the pivot level at $3.3665 would bring the first major support level at $3.1038 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$3.00 levels. The second major support level sits at $2.9568.
