Ethereum
Ethereum rose by 2.74% on Wednesday. Reversing a 2.71% fall from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,706.64.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $2,552.28 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,525, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $2,803.00.
Ethereum broke through the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the first major resistance level at $2,746.
A late pullback, however, saw Ethereum fall back through the first major resistance level and 38.2% FIB to end the day at sub-$2,710 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.49% to $2,693.42. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,728.00 before falling to a low $2,686.05.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the $2,687 pivot to bring the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the first major resistance level at $2,822 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 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 $2,938.
A fall back through the $2,687 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,572 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$2,400 levels. The second major support level at $2,437 should limit the downside.

For the day ahead
Litecoin would need to move back through the $186 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $193 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $190 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $195 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $210. The second major resistance level sits at $199.
Failure to move back through the $186 pivot would bring the first major support level at $180 and the 62% FIB of $174 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$170. The second major support level at $173 should limit the downside.
A sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $174 would form a near-term bearish trend from 10th May’s swing hi $413.91.
