Ethereum
Ethereum slid by 4.98% on Thursday. Partially reversing a 6.72% gain from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,745.51.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $2,893.96 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,987, Ethereum fell to an early morning intraday low $2,639.32.
Ethereum fell through the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the first major support level at $2,720.
Finding late morning support, Ethereum revisited $2,880 levels before another sell-off late in the day.
Ethereum fell back through the 38.2% FIB and the first major support level before ending the day at $2,745 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.58% to $2,729.68. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $2,745.25 to a low $2,709.44.
While leaving the major support and resistance levels untested, Ethereum fell through the 38.2S% FIB of $2,740 early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move back through the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the $2,760 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,880 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,800 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at Thursday’s high $2,893.96 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $3,000. The second major resistance level sits at $3,014.
Failure to move through the 38.2% FIB and the $2,760 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,625 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,500 levels. The second major support level at $2,505 should limit the downside.
