Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to move through the $4,500 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,554 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $4,500 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $4,574.00 would likely cap the upside.
