Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 1.40% on Sunday. Following an 8.32% rally from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 25.02% to $560.82.

It was another mixed start to the day. Ethereum rose to an early morning high $562.61 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $570.63, Ethereum slid to a late morning intraday low $511.16.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $519.17 before finding support. Through the 2nd half of the day, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high and a new swing hi $581.80.

The afternoon rally saw Ethereum break through the first major resistance level at $570.63. A late pullback, however, saw Ethereum fall back through the first major resistance level to end the day at sub-$570.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.79% to $565.25. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise from an early morning low $560.70 to a high $565.72

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 $551.26 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $591.36.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Sunday’s high $581.80.

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 $610 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $621.90.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $551.26 pivot would bring the first major support level at $520.72 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$500 levels. The second major support level sits at $480.62.
