Steering clear of the first major support level at $3,016, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $3,283.26.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $3,211 to end the day at $3,270 levels.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,203 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,355 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $3,350 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 would likely cap any upside.

A fall through the $3,203 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,122 into play.
