For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the $231.50 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $236.00.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $235 levels.
Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $235.24 should cap any upside.
In the event of another breakout, expect a run at the second major resistance level at $239.72 and $240 levels before any pullback.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $231.50 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 $227.81 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$220 levels. The second major support level at $223.34 should limit any downside on the day.
