For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move back through to $161 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $162.58.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to breakout from the morning high $161.50.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $162.5 and Tuesday’s high $163.0 should limit any upside.
Failure to move back through to $161 levels could see Ethereum hit reverse.
A fall through to sub-$159 levels would bring the first major support level at $155.14 into play.
Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$155 levels.
