For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $2,341 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,387 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $2,350 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at Wednesday’s high $2,411.19 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,500. The second major resistance level sits at $2,458.

Failure to move through the $2,341 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,270 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,200 levels. The second major support level at $2,224 should limit the downside.
