For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $2,176 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,267 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,200 levels.

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

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $2,417.

Failure to move through the $2,176 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,026 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,934.
