It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. Steering clear of the day's pivot levels would support another bullish day ahead, however.

Investing and stock market concept gain and profits with faded candlestick charts.

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 5.93% on Thursday. Partially reversing a 7.06% slide from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,081.29.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $1,949.34 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,886, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $2,084.54.

Coming in range of the first major resistance level at $2,086, Ethereum eased back to end the day at $2,081 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.18% to $2,085.02. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,078.35 before rising to a high $2.088.18.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the pivot level at $2,038 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2,127.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from this morning’s high $2,088.18.

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 $2,200 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,174.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $2,038 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,992 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,903.

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $224 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $231.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Thursday’s high $228.00.

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

In the event of an extended rally, Litecoin could test resistance at $240 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $235.

Failure to avoid the $224 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $220 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$210 support levels. The second major support level at $213 should limit the downside.

For the day ahead

Ripple’s XRP will need to avoid the $1.0121 pivot level to bring the first major resistance level at $1.1226 into play.
