Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $1,488 and the second major support level at $1,435.

While breaking back through the major support levels, Ethereum failed to break through the day’s pivot level at $1,556.

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 $1,507 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,573 and the 23.6% FIB of $1,579.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s high $1,551.19.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $1,600 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,650 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,616.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,507 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,464 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$1,400 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,399.
