For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,894 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,077 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s high $4,030.35.

Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $4,100 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $4,213.

A fall through the $3,894 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,757 into play.
