It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. A move through the day's pivot levels would support a recovery of Friday's losses.

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 0.73% on Friday. Partially reversing a 5.93% gain from Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,066.03.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a late morning intraday high $2,100.00 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,127, Ethereum fell to a late afternoon intraday low $2,048.41.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,992, Ethereum found support to end the day at $2,060 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.16% to $2,062.72. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,067.66 before falling to a low $2,060.00.

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 $2,072 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2,095.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,090 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $2,100 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,150 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,123.

Failure to move through the $2,072 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,043 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,000 levels. The second major support level at $2,020 should limit the downside.
