Ethereum
Ethereum rallied by 8.30% on Wednesday. Following on from a 0.46% gain on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $637.98.
A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to a mid-morning intraday low $581.21 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $579.81, Ethereum surged to a late intraday high and a new swing hi $639.58.
Ethereum broke through the day’s major resistance levels and the previous current year’s high of $636.53.
In spite of a partial pullback, Ethereum held well above the third major resistance level at $624.20.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.03% to $644.56. A mixed start saw Ethereum slip to an early morning low $637.50 before striking a morning high and a new swing hi $645.59.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $619.59 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $657.97.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $650 levels.
Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $680 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $677.96.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $619.59 pivot would bring the first major support level at $599.60 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$590 levels. The second major support level sits at $561.22.
