It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to break out from Yesterday's highs would bring support levels into play.

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 3.22% on Tuesday. Reversing a 3.25% slide from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $405.74.

It was a relatively range-bound start to the day. Ethereum fell to a late morning intraday low $390.35 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $379.73, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $411.77.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $408.99, before easing back to $405 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.18% to $405.00. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $405.76 to a low $404.55.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $402.62 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $414.89.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Tuesday’s high $411.77.

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

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $424.04.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $402.62 pivot would bring the first major support level at $393.47 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $381.20.
