Ethereum
Ethereum jumped by 10.23% on Wednesday. Following on from a 10.12% rally Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,668.72.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum slip to an early morning intraday low $1,509.48 before making a move.
Steering well clear of the first major support level at $1,400, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high and a new swing high $1,672.20.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $1,588 and the second major resistance level at $1,663 to end the day at $1,668 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up 0.29% to $1,673.63. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $1,664.08 before rising to a new swing hi $1,680.00.
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 $1,617 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,724.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $1,700 levels.
Barring an 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 $1,800 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,780.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,617 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,561 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,454.
