For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $242.94 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $250.12.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Tuesday’s high $247.18.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high should cap any upside.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $242.94 pivot would bring the first major support level at $238.71 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$235 levels. The second major support level sits at $231.53.
