Ethereum
Ethereum tumbled by 12.07% on Friday. Following a 4.98% decline on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,413.81.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $2,762.91 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,880, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $2,329.2.
Ethereum fell through the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the first major support level at $2,720.
The extended sell-off also saw Ethereum fall through the second major support level at $2,505 to end the day at $2,400 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.25% to $2,407.84. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,396.20 before rising to a high $2,434.53.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the $2,502 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,675 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $2,500 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rebound, Ethereum could test resistance at $3,000. The second major resistance level sits at $2,936.
Failure to move through the $2,502 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,241 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,000 levels. The second major support level at $2,068 should limit the downside.
