Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $184.19 before finding support.

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.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on

For the day ahead

A move through to $186.20 levels would support a run at the first major resistance level at $188.51.

Ethereum would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from the morning high $185.80.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $190 should limit any upside.

Failure to move through to $186.20 levels could see Ethereum hit reverse. A fall back through the morning low $184.18 would bring the first major support level at $182.28 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $179.91.
