It's a relatively bullish start to the day. The majors will need to avoid the pivots and breakthrough Wednesday's highs, however, to avoid a reversal.

EOS

EOS fell by 0.15% on Wednesday. Following Tuesday’s 7.77% tumble, EOS ended the day at $3.1197.

It was another mixed start to the day. EOS rose to an early morning high $3.1577 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3.3622, EOS fell to an early afternoon intraday low $3.0578.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2.9184, EOS rose to a late afternoon intraday high $3.1729.

A bearish end to the day, however, left EOS in the red.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 0.23% to $3.1269. A mixed start to the day saw EOS fall to an early morning low $3.1128 before rising to a high $3.1338.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to avoid a fall through the $3.1168 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $3.1758.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from Wednesday’s high $3.1729.

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

Failure to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $3.1168 would bring the first major support level at $3.0607 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, EOS should avoid a return to sub-$3.00 levels. The second major support level at $3.0017 should limit any downside.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $405.31, Ethereum fell to an early afternoon intraday low $377.56.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $365.36, Ethereum rose to a late afternoon intraday high $393.50.

Falling short of the first major resistance level once more, Ethereum slipped back to sub-$390 to limit the upside.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $386 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $394.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $393.50.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $400 would likely cap any upside.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $386 pivot would bring the first major support level at $378 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$370 levels. The second major support level sits at $370.
