It's been a mixed start to the day for the majors. Avoiding a fall through back through the day's pivot levels would support a bullish day ahead.

Ethereum rose by 1.43% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 1.72% fall from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week down by 7.85% to $2,140.82.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $2,081.51 before making a move.

Finding support at the first major support level at $2,059, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $2,173.37.

Coming within range of the first major resistance level at $2,177, Ethereum eased back to end the day at sub-$2,150 levels.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the $2,132 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,182 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Sunday’s high $2,173.37.

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

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,250 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,224.

A fall back through the $2,132 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,090 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,000 levels. The second major support level at $2,040 should limit the downside.
