Ethereum fell by 4.48% on Sunday. Reversing a 0.33% gain from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week down by 0.15% to $3,415.0.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a mid-morning intraday high $3,605.49 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,627, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $3,406.44.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $3,532 and the second major support level at $3,487 to end the day at $3,410 levels.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $3,476 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,545 play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $3,500 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $3,605.49 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $3,800 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,675.

Failure to move through the $3,476 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 and the first major support level at $3,346 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,300 levels. The second major support level sits at $3,277.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $183.99 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $190 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $188.

Failure to move through the 23.6% FIB of $178 and the $178 pivot would bring the first major support level at $171 back into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$165. The second major support level at $168 should limit the downside.
