It's a bullish start to the day. Avoiding a fall through the pivot levels would support a run at the major resistance levels on the day.

Coins of crypto currency are presented on a dark background. Virtual money concept.

EOS

EOS fell by 0.19% on Friday. Following on from a 1.18% decline on Thursday, EOS ended the day at $.24991.

It was another mixed start to the day. EOS rose to an early morning high $2.5155 before hitting reverse.

Coming up short of the major resistance levels, EOS fell to a mid-morning intraday low $2.4767.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2.4382, EOS struck a mid-day intraday high $2.5233 before easing back.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2.5641, EOS fell back to sub-$2.50 levels and into the red.

Finding support late in the day, EOS briefly moved back through to $2.50 levels before easing back.

At the time of writing, EOS was up by 0.18% to $2.5036. A bullish start to the day saw EOS rise from an early morning low $2.5036 to a high $2.5063.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through the $2.5000 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.5227.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through to $2.52 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $2.5233 would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move through the $2.5000 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2.4761 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, EOS should steer clear of sub-$2.40 levels. The third major support level at $2.4065 should limit the downside.
