A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $3,251.05 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,292, Ethereum slid to a mid-day intraday low $3,056.00.
Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $3,123 before a recovery to $3,140 levels.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move back through the $3,133 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,211 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $3,150 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $3,251.05 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $3,369. The second major resistance level sits at $3,329.
Failure to move back through the $3,133 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,016 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $2,938.
