For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the $231 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $234.58.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Thursday’s high $234.50.
Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $234.5 should cap any upside.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $231 pivot could see Ethereum take another hit on the day.
A fall through to sub-$230 levels would bring the first major support level at $227.45 into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$220 levels. The second major support level at $223.84 should limit any downside.
