Ethereum
Ethereum tumbled by 13.25% on Monday. Following on from a 2.04% on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,088.79.
It was a particularly bearish day. Ethereum slid from an early morning intraday high $1,260.24 to a late afternoon intraday low $905.00.
The sell-off saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level at $1,155.13 and the second major support level at $1,055.12.
More significantly, Ethereum also slid through the 23.6% FIB of $1,051.
Finding support late in the day. Ethereum moved back through the 23.6% FIB and the second major support level.

While leaving the major support and resistance levels untested, Ethereum fell through the 23.6% FIB of $1,051 early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the 23.6% FIB and the pivot level at $1,085 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,264.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,200 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $1,260.24 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,350 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,440.
Failure to move through the 23.6% FIB and the $1,085 pivot would bring the first major support level at $909.11 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer well clear of the second major support level at $729. The 38.2% FIB of $866 should limit the downside.
