Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 1.07% on Wednesday. Partially reversing a 4.16% rally from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $4,587.

A bullish morning saw Ethereum rise to a late morning intraday high $4,785 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $4,812, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $4,527.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $4,404, however, Ethereum found support to end the day at $4,500 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.04% to $4,585. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $4,589 before falling to a low $4,563.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $4,633 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,739 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $4,700 levels. Barring an extended rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $4,785 should limit the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the ATH $4,868 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $4,890.

Failure to move through the $4,633 pivot would bring the first major support level at $4,481 into play. Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$4,300 levels. The second major support level at $4,375 should limit the downside.
