For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move back through to $200 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $204.89 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $201.59.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.
Failure to move back through to $200 levels could see Ethereum take a bigger hit.
A fall back through to sub-$196.60 levels would bring the first major support level at $191.66 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $183.39.
