It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. Failure to move through the day's pivot levels would bring the major support levels into play.

Ripple, Dash coin, Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum

Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 4.22% on Wednesday. Reversing a 3.22% gain from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $388.63.

It was a bullish start to the day. Ethereum rose to an early morning intraday high $409.52 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $414.89, Ethereum tumbled to an early afternoon intraday low $380.50.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $393.47 and the second major support level at $381.20.

Steering clear of sub-$380, Ethereum broke back through the second major support level to end the day at $388 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.01% to $388.61. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $389.05 before falling to a low $388.02.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $392.88 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $405.27.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $400 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s high $409.52 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $415 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $421.90.

Failure to move through the $392.88 pivot would bring the first major support level at $376.25 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the 38.2% FIB of $367. The second major support level sits at $363.86.
