It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to move through the day's pivot levels would bring support levels into play.

EOS

EOS fell by 1.36% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 3.48% rally from Saturday, EOS ended the week down by 14.44% to $3.3199.

A mixed start to the day saw EOS rise to an early morning intraday high $3.3887 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3.4444, EOS slid to a late morning intraday low $3.2293.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $3.2208, EOS revisited $3.37 levels before falling back into the red.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 0.78% to $3.2940. A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall from an early morning high $3.3272 to a low $3.2898.

EOS left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through the $3.3126 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $3.3960.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from Sunday’s high $3.3887.

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

Failure to move through the pivot level at $3.3126 would bring the first major support level at $3.2366 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$3.00 levels. The second major support level at $3.1532 should limit any downside.
