It's a bullish start to the day for the majors. Steering clear of the day's pivot levels would support another breakout day.

Investing and stock market concept gain and profits with faded candlestick charts.

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 7.13% on Friday. Following on from a 0.32% gain on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,700.10.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $1,586.81 before making a move.

Steering clear of the 23.6% FIB of $1,579 and the first major support level at $1,550, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $1,700.70.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $1,624 and the second major resistance level at $1,660.

Resistance at $1,700 pegged Ethereum back late in the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.74% to $1,712.74. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise from an early morning low $1,699.97 to a high $1,716.54.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $1,663 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,738.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from this morning’s high $1,716.54.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,850 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,776.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,663 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,624 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,549. The 23.6% FIB of $1,579 should limit the downside.
