For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the $229 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $231.56.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $230 levels.
Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $231.90 should cap any upside.
Failure to move through the $229 pivot could see Ethereum see red for a 4th consecutive day.
A fall through to sub-$229 levels would bring the first major support level at $226.09 into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$220 levels. The second major support level at $223.53 should limit any downside.
