Ethereum
Ethereum slid by 12.26% on Friday. Reversing an 11.55% rally from Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,434.86.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $2,950.00 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,131, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $2,105.00.
Ethereum fell through the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the first major support level at $2,287.
Steering clear of sub-$2,000, Ethereum broke back through the first major support level to end the day at $2,400 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.85% to $2,414.23. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,455.64 before falling to a low $2,414.23.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the $2,497 pivot to bring the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the first major resistance level at $2,888 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to 38.2% FIB.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $3,369. The second major resistance level sits at $3,342.
Failure to move through the $2,497 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,043 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,652. The 62% FIB of $1,725 should limit the downside.
A sustained fall through the 62% FIB would form a near-term bearish trend from 12th May’s swing hi $4,384.30.
