It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. A breakout from Wednesday's highs would be needed to avoid a day in the red.

Cryptocurrency Ethereum with One Dollar Bill as financial concept.

EOS

EOS rose by 0.30% on Wednesday. Partially reversing a 0.92% fall from Tuesday, EOS ended the day at $2.7130.

It was a particularly bearish start to the day. EOS tumbled to an early morning intraday low $2.5750 before making a move.

The sell-off saw EOS fall through the first major support level at $2.6685 and the second major support level at $2.6325.

Finding support through the day, EOS rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $2.7547 before easing back.

In spite of the rebound, EOS came up short of the first major resistance level at $2.7641 on the day.

At the time of writing, EOS was down by 0.18% to $2.7078. A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall from an early morning high $2.7145 to a low $2.7056.

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

For the day ahead

EOS would need to avoid a fall through the $2.6809 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2.7868.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from Wednesday’s high $2.7547.

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

Failure to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $2.6809 would bring the first major support level at $2.6071 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, EOS should continue to steer clear of the second major support level at $2.5012.
