After a bearish day for the majors on Thursday, a move through Thursday's highs would be needed to avoid another day in the red.

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 1.50% on Thursday. Reversing a 0.26% gain from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $4,537.15.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $4,610.24 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $4,700, Ethereum slid to a late afternoon intraday low $4,423.01.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $4,484 before finding support to end the day at $4,500 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.20% to $4,528.17. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $4,539.83 before falling to a low $4,527.81.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $4,524 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,624 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $4,600 levels.

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

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at Wednesday’s ATH $4,680.98 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $4,711.

A fall through the $4,524 pivot would bring the first major support level at $4,437 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$4,200 levels. The second major support level at $4,336 should limit the downside.

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $202 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $208 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $205 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $207.33 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $220 before easing back. The second major resistance level sits at $213.

A fall through the $202 pivot would bring the first major support level at $197 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$190. The second major support level at $191 should limit the downside.
