For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the $227.15 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $231.49.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $230 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $232.15 should cap any upside.
Failure to move through the $227.15 pivot would bring the first major support level at $222.12 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$215 levels. The second major support level at $217.77 should limit any downside.
