It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to move through the day's pivot levels would leave support levels in play.

Ripple, Dash coin, Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 4.71% on Friday. Following on from a 5.35% decline on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,355.27.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $2,499.34 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,588, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $2,322.16.

The reversal saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level at $2,392 before steadying to end the day at $2,350 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.32% to $2,347.83. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,359.53 before falling to a low $2,338.12.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $2,392 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,462 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $2,450 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $2,499.34 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,600 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,569.

Failure to move through the $2,392 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,285 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $2,215.
