Ethereum rallied by 3.59% on Monday. Following a 1.90% gain on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $4,354.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $4,075 and the second major support level at $3,947 before finding support. Through the 2nd half of the day, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $4,381.

The extended rally saw Ethereum break through the first major resistance level at $4,294. Coming up against the second major resistance level at $4,385, however, Ethereum eased back to end the day at $4,350 levels.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $4,216 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,519 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $4,500 levels. Barring an extended rally, the first major resistance level should limit the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the $4,700 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $4,684.

A fall through the $4,216 pivot would bring the first major support level at $4,051 into play. Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,900 levels. The second major support level sits at $3,748.
