After a bullish day on Thursday, the majors will need to avoid the day's pivot levels to support further upside ahead.
Ethereum rallied by 9.25% on Thursday. Reversing a 5.04% slide from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $4,288.26.
A bearish start saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $3,899.41 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $3,804, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $4,299.00.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $4,179 to end the day at $4,280 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.22% to $4,297.58. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $4,269.59 before rising to a high $4,300.00.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to avoid the $4,162 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,425 play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from the morning high $4,300.00.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap the upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $4,500 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $4,562. Ethereum would need plenty of support, however, to breakout from May’s all-time high $4,383.4.
A fall through the $4,162 pivot would bring the first major support level at $4,026 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,700 levels. The second major support level at $3,763 should limit the downside.

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $210 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $204.
A fall through the $186 pivot would bring the first major support level at $180 and the 23.6% FIB of $178 into play.
