Ethereum
Ethereum fell by 5.35% on Thursday. Reversing a 4.07% gain from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,471.59.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $2,625.00 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,691, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $2,428.16.
The reversal saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level at $2,469 before ending the day at $2,471 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.93% to $2,494.55. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $2,447.31 before striking a high $2,499.34.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the $2,508 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,588 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $2,550 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $2,740. The second major resistance level sits at $2,705.
Failure to move through the $2,508 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,392 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,300 levels. The second major support level at $2,311 should limit the downside.
