A mixed start to the day saw EOS rise to an early morning intraday high $2.7673 before falling to a late morning low $2.7268.

The sell-off saw EOS slide through the first major support level at $2.7118 and the second major support level at $2.6652.

A fall through the early morning low $2.6617 would bring the first major support level at $2.6080 into play.
