Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 3.79% on Sunday. Partially reversing an 8.76% rally from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 7.00% to $1,848.9.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,931.97 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,001, Ethereum slid to a late afternoon intraday low $1,836.61.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,785, Ethereum revisited $1,890 levels before ending the day at sub-$1,850.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.13% to $1,869.81. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $1,840.02 before rising to a high $1,884.62.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the pivot level at $1,873 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,908.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,900 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $1,932.97 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,968.

Failure to move back through the $1,873 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,813 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,800 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,777.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $220 levels.

In the event of an extended rally, Litecoin could test resistance at $240 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $233.

Failure to move through the $219 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $209 into play.
