It's a bullish start to the day for the majors. Avoiding a fall through the day's pivot levels would bring resistance levels into play.

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 0.32% on Thursday. Partially reversing a 5.19% slide from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,587.08.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $1,548.69 before making a move.

While steering clear of the first major support level at $1,508, Ethereum fell through the 23.6% FIB of $1,579.

Finding support in the early hours, however, Ethereum rallied to a late morning intraday high $1,622.27 before hitting reverse.

While falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,699, Ethereum broke back through the 23.6% FIB.

The reversal, however, saw Ethereum revisit sub-$1,560 levels before ending the day at $1,587 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.02% to $1,603.21. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $1,586.81 before rising to a high $1,604.43.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $1,586 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,623.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,620 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $1,622.27 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,700 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,660.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $1,586 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $1,579 and the first major support level at $1,550 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of $1,500 levels. The second major support level at $1,512 should limit the downside.
