Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 2.22% on Sunday. Reversing a 0.93% fall from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week down by 0.17% to $150.68.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $146.36.

Ethereum slipped through the first major support level at $146.46 before finding support from the broader market.

Tracking the broader market, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $152.0.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $149.14 and the second major resistance level at $150.85.

Late in the day, Ethereum fell back through the second major resistance level before bouncing back to $151 levels.

A final hour sell-off, led to a pullback through the second major resistance level for a 2nd time to reduce the upside on the day.

The extended bearish trend, formed at late April 2018’s swing hi $828.97, remained firmly intact. A reversal from June’s current year high $364.49 back through the 23.6% FIB of $257 reaffirmed the extended bearish trend.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.09% to $150.55. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $151.25 before falling to a low $150.37.

While steering clear of the major support and resistance levels, resistance at $151 pinned Ethereum back early on.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to steer clear of sub-$150 levels to support another run at the first major resistance level at $153.0.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $151 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally on the day, Ethereum would likely struggle to break through Sunday’s high $152.0.

Failure to steer clear of sub-$150 levels would bring the first major support level at $147.36 into play before any recovery.

Barring an extended sell-off through the day, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$147 levels.
