For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through to $155.5 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $158.79.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to breakout from the morning high $153.76.
Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $155 would likely leave Ethereum short of the first major resistance level.
Failure to move back through to $155.5 levels could see Ethereum fall back into the red.
A fall through the first major support level at $149.46 would bring $148 levels into play before any recovery.
Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $146.15.
