Following a bullish Tuesday session, the majors would need to avoid the day's pivot levels and revisit Tuesday's highs to support another bullish day ahead.

Ripple, Dash coin, Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 3.79% on Tuesday. Reversing a 0.95% decline from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,515.30.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $3,365.34 before making a move.

While steering clear of the first major support level at $3,292, Ethereum fell through the 23.6% FIB of $3,369.

Finding late morning support, however, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $3,547.88.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $3,461 and the second major resistance level at $3,535.

A late pullback, however, saw Ethereum fall back through the second major resistance level to end the day at sub-$3,520 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.22% to $3,507.68. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $3,518.96 before falling to a low $3,507.33.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,476 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,587 play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Tuesday’s high $3,547.88.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $3,600 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $3,700 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,659.
