After a mixed start, Ethereum rose to a mid-day intraday high $4,257 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $4,385, Ethereum slid to a mid-afternoon intraday low $4,038.

Steering well clear of the first major support level at $3,720, however, Ethereum moved back through to $4,200 levels and into positive territory.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 1.62% to $4,135. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $4,210 before falling to a low $4,135.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the $4,166 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,294 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $4,250 levels. Barring an extended rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $4,300 should limit the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the $4,500 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $4,385.

Failure to move back through the $4,166 pivot would bring the first major support level at $4,075 into play. Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,900 levels. The second major support level at $3,947 should limit the downside.
