Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.29% on Sunday. Following a 12.41% rally on Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 33.07% to $3,928.44.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a late morning intraday high and a new swing hi $3,984.00.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $4,102, Ethereum fell to a mid-day intraday low $3,726.29.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $3,594, Ethereum revisited $3,960 levels before easing back.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.55% to $3,906.95. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $3,934.98 before falling to a low $3,896.71.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $3,880 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,033 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $4,000 levels.

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

In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $4,200 levels. The second major resistance level sits at $4,137.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $3,880 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,775 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $3,622.
