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

Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 7.57% on Tuesday. Reversing a 0.58% loss from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,299.92.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $2,135.9 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,094.02, Ethereum surged to a late intraday high and a new swing hi $2,317.3.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $2,191 and the second major resistance level at $2,243 before easing back.

Coming within range of the third major resistance level at $2,340, Ethereum eased back to end the day at sub-$2,300 levels.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $2,251 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2,366.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Tuesday’s new swing hi $2,317.3.

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 $2,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,432.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $2,251 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,185 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,100 levels. The second major support level sits at $2,070.
