For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the $239 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $251.05.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Monday’s high $246.95.
Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $251.05 should cap any upside.
In the event of another breakout, the 23.6% FIB of $257 will likely come into play.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $239 pivot could see Ethereum spend the day in the red.
A fall through to sub-$240 levels would bring the first major support level at $231.30 into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$220 levels. The second major support level sits at $219.38.
