Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 4.40% on Monday. Partially reversing a 4.68% gain from Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,925.27.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $3,168.03 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,205, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $2,925.00.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,829, however, Ethereum ended the day at $2,925 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up 0.24% to $2,932.38. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,905.68 before rising to a high $2,932.38.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $3,006 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,087 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $3,050 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $3,168.03 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,249.

Failure to move through the $3,006 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,844 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,700 levels. The second major support level at $2,763 and the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 should limit the downside.
