It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to revisit early morning highs would bring support levels into play.
Ethereum fell by 1.64% on Wednesday. Reversing a 1.09% gain from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at 1,742.93.

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.

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.
