For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the pivot level at $477.05 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $497.59.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $490 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s high $495.68 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $510 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $516.23.

Failure to move back through the $477.05 pivot would bring the first major support level at $458.41 into play.
