It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to revisit early morning highs would bring support levels into play.

Ripple, Dash coin, Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 1.64% on Wednesday. Reversing a 1.09% gain from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at 1,742.93.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a late morning intraday high and a new swing hi $1,839.00 before hitting reverse.

Coming up against the first major resistance level at $1,828, Ethereum slid to an early afternoon intraday low $1,680.00.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $1,713 before revisiting $1,750 levels.

A bearish end to the day, however, left Ethereum at sub-$1,750 for the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.34% to $1,737.02. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,750 before falling to a low $1,730.18.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the pivot level at $1,754 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,828.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,800 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday’s high $1,839.00 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,900 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,913.

Failure to move through the $1,754 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,669 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$1,600 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,595.
