For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $475.91 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $491.77.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Tuesday’s high $485.00.

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 $500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $500.86.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $475.91 pivot would bring the first major support level at $466.82 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$460 levels. The second major support level sits at $450.96.
