It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. Steering clear of the day's pivot levels would support a bullish start to the week, however.

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 3.35% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 5.86% slide from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 23.09% to $2,076.36.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $1,980.00 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,960, Ethereum rallied to a mid-afternoon intraday high $2,093.07.

Coming within range of the first major resistance level at $2,099, Ethereum slipped back to $2,050 levels before ending the day at $2,076 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.14% to $2,073.46. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,085.23 before falling to a low $2,072.02.

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 $2,050 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2,120.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Sunday’s high $2,093.07.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,200 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,163.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $2,050 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,007 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,900 levels. The second major support level at $1,937 should limit the downside.
