For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $434 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $450.35.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s high $445.45.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level should continue to cap any upside.
A fall through the $434 pivot would bring the first major support level at $422.42 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$400 levels. The second major support level at $406 should limit any downside.
