For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $1,960 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,054 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $2,019.90.

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