It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. Steering clear of the pivot levels would support a breakout day, however.
Ethereum rallied by 12.92% on Sunday. Following a 0.09% gain on Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 13.1% to $1,394.00.
A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $1,221.66 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,197, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $1,401.92.
Ethereum broke through the day’s major resistance levels before easing back to $1,394 levels.
In spite of the late pullback, Ethereum avoided a fall back through the third major resistance level at $1,384.95.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.91% to $1,406.62. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $1,384.15 before rising to a high $1,409.00.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $1,339 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,457.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from the swing hi $1,440.00.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the swing hi and the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,550 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,520.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,339 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,277 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of 23.6% FIB of $1,119. The second major support level at $1,159 should limit the downside.
First Major Support Level: $1,277
Pivot Level: $1,339
First Major Resistance Level: $1,457
23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $1,119
38.2% FIB Retracement Level: $921

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Sunday’s high $142.63.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $145 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test the second major resistance level at $147.98 and the 23.6% FIB of $148. Resistance at $150 would likely cap the upside, however.
Failure to move through the $139.21 pivot level would bring first major support level at $135.78 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $130.44.
First Major Support Level: $135.78
