After another bullish day for the majors on Friday, avoiding the day's pivot levels would be key to maintain the upward momentum.

Ethereum Crypto Currency Market

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 3.01% on Friday. Following a 9.25% breakout on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $4,421.23.

A mixed start saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $4,266.91 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $4,026, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high and a new ATH $4,461.96.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $4,425 before easing back to end the day at $4,421 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.25% to $4,410.38. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $4,435.00 before falling to a low $4,408.58.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $4,383 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,500 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s ATH $4,461.96.

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 $4,650 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $4,578.

A fall through the $4,383 pivot would bring the first major support level at $4,305 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$4,100 levels. The second major support level at $4,188 should limit the downside.
