For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $2,350 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,433 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Thursday’s high $2,399.99.

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 $2,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,483.

A fall through the $2,350 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,301 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$2,200 levels. The second major support level at $2,218 should limit the downside.
