It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. Steering clear of the day's pivot levels, however, would bring resistance levels into play.
Ethereum rose by 2.02% on Tuesday. Following on from a 6.17% rally on Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,871.99.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,859.62 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the major resistance levels, Ethereum fell to a mid-day intraday low $1,800.00 before finding support.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,718, Ethereum rallied to a final hour intraday high $1,872.26.
In spite of the late rally, Ethereum came up short of the first major resistance level at $1,898 on the day.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.19% to $1,868.34. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,878.00 before falling to a low $1,865.65.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $1,848 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,896.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from this morning’s high $1,878.00.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $1,900 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,950 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,920.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,848 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,824 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,800 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,776.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from thus morning’s high $205.27.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $199 pivot level would bring 23.6% FIB of $195 and the first major support level at $194 into play.
