Following a bullish Wednesday, the majors would need to revisit Wednesday's highs to avoid a reversal in the day ahead.
Ethereum rose by 1.59% on Wednesday. Partially reversing a 4.12% loss from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,850.14.
After a mixed start to the day, Ethereum rallied to a mid-day intraday high $2,950.60 before hitting reverse.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $2,924 before falling to a late intraday low $2,781.99.
Steering clear of the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the first major support level at $2,735, Ethereum bounced back to end the day $2,850 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.25% to $2,842.91. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,840.15 before rising to a high $2,856.59.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to move through the $2,861 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,940 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,900 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s high $2,950.60 would likely cap the upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $3,100 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,030.
Failure to move through the $2,861 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,771 and the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,700 levels. The second major support level sits at $2,692.

Litecoin would need to move through the $145 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $150 into play.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s high $150.40 would likely cap the upside.
