It's a bearish start to the day. Failure to move through the day's pivot levels would likely deliver heavy losses for the majors.

EOS

EOS fell by 0.92% on Tuesday. Reversing a 0.16% gain from Monday, EOS ended the day at $2.7046.

It was a mixed start to the day. EOS rose to an early morning intraday high $2.7876 before hitting reverse.

EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.7758 before sliding to an early afternoon low $2.6938.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2.6882, EOS briefly revisited $2.74 levels before falling back into the red. The late pullback saw EOS fall to an intraday low $2.6920 before recovering to $2.70 levels. In spite of the late reversal, EOS continued to steer clear of the first major support level at $2.6882.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 0.51% to $2.6908. A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall from an early morning high $2.7073 to a low $2.6894.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move through the $2.7281 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.7641.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from $2.75 levels.

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

Failure to move through the pivot level at $2.7281 would bring the first major support level at $2.6685 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, EOS should continue to steer clear of sub-$2.60 levels. The second major support level at $2.6325 should limit the downside.
