For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $2,076 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2,204.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s high $2,145.00.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,400 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,273.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $2,076 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,007 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,880.
