Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 1.22% on Friday. Following on from a 0.25% decline on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $382.77.

It was a mixed start to the day. Ethereum rose to an early morning high $392.16 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $394.15, Ethereum fell to a late morning intraday low $373.40.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $380.90 and the second major support level at $374.20.

Steering clear of sub-$370 levels, Ethereum broke back through to $380 levels to reduce the deficit on the day.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $382.78 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $392.15.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $390 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $392.16 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $400 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $401.54.

Failure to move through the $382.78 pivot would bring the first major support level at $373.39 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the 38.2% FIB of $367.00. The second major support level sits at $364.02.
