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

EOS fell by 2.54% on Friday. Reversing a 1.05% gain from Thursday, EOS ended the day at $3.0074.

A bullish start to the day saw EOS rally to a late morning intraday $3.2450 before hitting reverse.

EOS fell through the first major support level at $2.990 and the second major support level at $2.9101.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through the $3.0007 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $3.2517

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from Friday’s high $3.2450.

Barring an extended crypto rally, however, resistance at $3.10 would likely leave EOS short of the major resistance levels.

Failure to move through the $3.0007 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2.7563 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$2.75 levels on the day. The second major support level sits at $2.5053.
