It's a mixed start to the day. A fall through the pivot levels would bring another day of losses for the majors.

EOS

EOS fell by 1.18% on Thursday. Following on from a 0.63% decline on Wednesday, EOS ended the day at $2.5045.

It was a mixed start to the day. EOS rose to an early morning intraday high $2.5573 before hitting reverse.

Coming up short of the first major resistance level at $2.5705, EOS slid to a late morning intraday low $2.4314.

EOS fell through the first major support level at $2.5125 and the second major support level at $2.4818.

Finding support late in the day, EOS moved back through the second major support level to limit the daily loss.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 0.09% to $2.5022. A mixed start to the day saw EOS fall from an early morning high $2.5039 to a low $2.5006.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to avoid a fall through the $2.4977 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.5641.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from Thursday’s high $2.5573.

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

Failure to avoid a fall through the $2.4977 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2.4382 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, EOS should steer clear of sub-$2.40 levels. The second major support level sits at $2.3718.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move the $234.11 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $238.46.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $235 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $239.16 should cap any upside.

For the day ahead

Ripple’s XRP will need to avoid a fall through the $0.1936 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.1985.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break out from Thursday’s high $0.19772.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high should cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ripple’s XRP should test resistance at $0.20 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $0.2027.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $0.1936 pivot would bring the first major support level at $0.1894 into play.

Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Ripple’s XRP should avoid sub-$0.18 levels. The second major support level at $0.1844 should limit any downside.
