Ethereum
Ethereum slid by 8.58% on Thursday. Following on from a 6.06% fall on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $520.34.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $577.00 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $598.85, Ethereum slumped to a late morning intraday low $480.08.
Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $546.36 and the second major support level at $523.94.
More significantly, Ethereum fell through the 23.6% FIB of $495.00.
Finding support at sub-$500 levels, however, Ethereum moved back through the 23.6% FIB to wrap up the day at $520 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.78% to $516.30. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $522.55 before falling to a low $515.68.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the pivot level at $525.81 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $571.53.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $550 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $600 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $622.73.
Failure to move through the $525.81 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $495 and the first major support level at $474.61 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$450 levels. The second major support level sits at $428.89.
