For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the $238 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $245.43.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $245 levels.
Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $245.43 should cap any upside.
In the event of another breakout, expect another run at $250 before any pullback.
Failure to move through the $238 pivot could see Ethereum spend yet another day in the red.
A fall through to sub-$230 levels would bring the first major support level at $227.05 into play.
In the event of another extended sell-off, however, expect the second major support level at $219.67 to come into play.
