Ethereum fell by 2.53% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 4.95% rally from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 6.12% to $4,082.64.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $4,188.42 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $4,219, Ethereum fell to a late intraday low $3,962.05.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $4,027 before a partial recovery to end the day at $4,080 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.17% to $4,089.72. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $4,069.22 before rising to a high $4,100.00.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the $4,078 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,193 play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $4,150 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $4,188.42 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at May’s all-time high $4,383.4. The second major resistance level sits at $4,304.

A fall back through the $4,078 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,967 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,800 levels. The second major support level at $3,851 should limit the downside.
