Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 1.08% on Thursday. Following an 11.64% surge on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,787.97.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,987, however, Ethereum fell to a mid-morning intraday low $3,722.65.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $3,528, Ethereum bounced back to an early afternoon high $3,834.98.

Continuing to fall short of the first major resistance level at $3,987, however, Ethereum eased back to end the day at sub-$3,800 levels.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,783 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,843 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to out from Thursday’s high $3,838.28.

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

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $3,899 and resistance at $4,000.

A fall through the $3,783 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,728 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer well clear of sub-$3,500 levels. The second major support level at $3,667 should limit the downside.
