After a mixed day for the majors on Monday, a move back through Monday's highs would be needed to support a bullish day ahead.

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 3.74% on Monday. Partially reversing a 4.48% slide from Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,542.37.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum slide to an early morning intraday low $3,373.45 before making a move.

Steering clear of the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 and the first major support level at $3,346, Ethereum rallied to a late morning intraday high $3,625.0.

Ethereum broke through 23.6% FIB and the first major resistance level at $3,545.

A late pullback saw Ethereum fall back through the first major resistance level to end the day at $3,542 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.42% to $3,527.35. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $3,543.21 before falling to a low $3,516.69.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,514 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,654 play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $3,600 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $3,625.00 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $3,800 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,765.

A fall through the $3,514 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,402 and the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,300 levels. The second major support level sits at $3,262.

Litecoin would need to move back through the $179 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $186 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $185 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $185.34 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $195 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $192.

Failure to move back through the $179 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $178 and the first major support level at $173 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$165. The second major support level at $166 should limit the downside.
