A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum slide to a late morning intraday low $3,342.16 before making a move.
Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $3,405 and the 23.6% FIB of $3,369.
Finding late morning support, however, Ethereum rallied to a mid-afternoon intraday high $3,632.44.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $3,587 ending the day at sub-$3,580 levels.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,517 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,691 play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $3,632.44.
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 $4,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,807.
A fall through the $3,517 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,401 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,300 levels and the second major support level at $3,226. The 23.6% FIB of $3,369 should limit the downside.
