Relatively range-bound through most of the day, Ethereum fell to an early afternoon intraday low $1,631.07 before making a move.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $1,698 to end the week at $1,700 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.10% to $1,747.17 A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise from an early morning low $1,727.95 to a high $1,751.94.

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 $1,698 to support another run at the first major resistance level at $1,765.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from the morning high $1,751.94.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $1,800 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,850 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,802.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,698 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,661 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$1,600 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,594.
