Technical Indicators

ETH will need to avoid the day’s $3,129 pivot to make another run on the First Major Resistance Level at $3,071. ETH would need the broader crypto market to support another breakthrough to $3,170 levels.

An extended rally would test the Second Major Resistance Level at $3,196 and resistance at $3,200. The Third Major Resistance Level sits at $3,263.

A fall through the pivot would test the First Major Support Level at $3,104. Barring an extended sell-off, ETH should avoid a return to sub-$3,000. The Second Major Support Level at $3,062 should limit the downside.

Avoiding the day’s pivot would support a run at $3,200.

Looking at the EMAs and the 4-hourly candlestick chart (above), it is a bullish signal. ETH continues to hold above the 50-day EMA currently at $3,007.
