Ethereum slid by 5.81% on Friday. Reversing a 5.53% gain from Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,690.68.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $2,859.89 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,944, Ethereum slid to a mid-day intraday low $2,555.01.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $2,717 and the second major support level at $2,576.

More significantly, Ethereum also fell through the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 before finding support.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the $2,702 pivot to bring 38.2% FIB and the first major resistance level at $2,849 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,800 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $2,859.89 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $3,100. The second major resistance level sits at $3,007.

A fall back through the $2,702 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,544 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $2,397.
