Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 1.51% on Tuesday. Partially reversing a 2.89% gain from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,543.58.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a mid-morning intraday high $2,640.00 before hitting reverse.

Coming up against the first major resistance level at $2,641, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $2,506.23.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,493, Ethereum moved back through to $2,550 levels before easing back.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.65% to $2,527.15. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $2,543.62 to a low $2,525.00.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $2,563 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,620 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,600 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $2,640.00 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,697.

Failure to move through the $2,563 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,487 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,400 levels. The second major support level at $2,430 should limit the downside.
