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

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 3.22% on Tuesday. Following a 4.37% loss on Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,509.11.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $2,621.91 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,769, Ethereum tumbled to a mid-afternoon intraday low $2,308.75.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $2,495 and the second major support level at $2,398.

Finding late support, Ethereum broke back through the major support levels to end the day at $2,500 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 2.79% to $2,439.09. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,525.00 before falling to a low $2,425.26.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the $2,480 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,651 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,600 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $2,621.91 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $2,740. The second major resistance level sits at $2,793.

Failure to move back through the $2,480 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,338 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,000 levels. The second major support level at $2,167 should limit the downside.
