EOS

EOS rose by 1.05% on Thursday. Following a 0.71% gain on Wednesday, EOS ended the day at $3.0878.

A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall to an early morning intraday low $3.0001 before making a move.

Finding support at the first major support level at $3.0021, EOS rallied to a late intraday high $3.1789.

EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $3.0992 and the second major resistance level at $3.1475.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through the $3.0889 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $3.1778.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through to $3.17 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $3.1789 would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move through the $3.0889 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2.990 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, EOS should steer clear of the second major support level at $2.9101.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break back through to $0.31 levels.
