It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. Steering clear of the day's pivot levels, however, would bring resistance levels into play.

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 4.29% on Wednesday. Following on from a 1.40% gain on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,920.00.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to a late morning intraday low $1,771.94 before making a move.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $1,798 before rallying to a late intraday high $1,948.00.

The rally saw Ethereum break through the first major resistance level at $1,872 and the second major resistance level at $1,903.

Coming up short of the third major resistance level at $1,977, Ethereum eased back to end the day at $1,920 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.20% to $1,923.86. A relatively bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise from an early morning low $1,919.99 to a high $1,939.00.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $1,880 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,988.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Tuesday’s high $1,948.00.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $2,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,100 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,056.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,880 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,812 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,704.
