Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 7.42% on Sunday. Following on from a 1.57% gain on Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 7.20% to $684.12.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a late morning high $655.22 before hitting reverse.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $654.41 before sliding to a mid-day intraday low $625.01.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $616.93, Ethereum surged to a late afternoon intraday high and a new swing hi $714.99.

Ethereum broke through the day’s major resistance levels before falling back to end the day at sub-$700 levels.

The pullback saw Ethereum fall through the third major resistance level at $709.77 and briefly through the second major resistance level at $672.29.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.23% to $692.55. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $680.89 before striking a high $692.71.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $674.71 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $724.40.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Sunday’s high $714.99.

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

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $750 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $764.69.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $674.71 pivot would bring the first major support level at $634.42 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$600 levels. The second major support level sits at $584.73.
