For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $2,301 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,411 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Sunday’s high $2,389.22.

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

In the event of a broad-based crypto rebound, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $2,500.

A fall through the $2,301 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,213 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,100 levels. The second major support level at $2,102 should limit the downside.
