A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a late morning intraday high and a new swing hi $3,984.00.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $4,102, Ethereum fell to a mid-day intraday low $3,726.29.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $3,880 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,033 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $4,000 levels.

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

In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $4,200 levels. The second major resistance level sits at $4,137.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $3,880 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,775 into play.
