Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.01% on Wednesday. Following a 3.23% gain from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,300.42.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to a mid-morning intraday low $2,245.10 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,195, Ethereum rallied to a late morning intraday high $2,347.88.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,364, however, Ethereum briefly fell back to sub-$2,300 and into the red.

A late move back through to $2,300 levels prevented a loss on the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.42% to $2,290.87. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,301.39 before falling to a low $2,286.48.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the $2,298 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,351 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $2,347.88.

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

In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could resistance at $2,400 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,401.

Failure to move back through the $2,298 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,248 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$2,100 levels. The second major support level at $2,195 should limit the downside.
