Ethereum
Ethereum rose by 1.21% on Thursday. Following on from a 9.81% rally on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,227.34.
Another mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to a late morning low $1,160.71 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,108.23, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high and a new swing hi $1,291.94
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $1,265.89 before a pullback to an intraday low $1,140 levels.
Continuing to steer clear of the major support levels, Ethereum broke back through to $1,220 levels to end the day in the green.

For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $1,219.76 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,299.52.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Thursday’s high $1,291.94.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $1,300 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,450 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,371.70.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,219.76 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,147.58 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear sub-$1,100 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,067.82.
