Ethereum

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $169.11 before making a move.

Finding support at the first major support level at $169.37, Ethereum bounced back to a late intraday high $176.80.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $175.15 before easing back to $175 levels.

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

Ethereum would need to move back through to $175 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $179.49 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Sunday’s high $176.8.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, Ethereum would likely come up short of $180 levels on the day.

Failure to move back through to $175 levels could see Ethereum fall deeper into the red.

A fall through to $173.80 levels would bring the first major support level at $170.80 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off through the day, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $166.11.
