It's a relatively bullish start to the day for the majors. Steering clear of the pivot levels would bring resistance levels into play.

Ethereum rose by 0.85% on Friday. Following on from an 8.89% jump on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $352.11.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $330.63, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $358.12.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $349.29 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $360.94.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s high $358.12.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $349.29 pivot would bring the first major support level at $340.45 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$330 levels. The second major support level sits at $328.80.
