Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $4,739, however, Ethereum slid to a late afternoon intraday low $4,435. Ethereum fell back through the first major support level before ending the day at $4,500 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.08% to $4,518. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $4,520 before falling to a low $4,507.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $4,529 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,623 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $4,600 levels. Barring an extended rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $4,637 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 $4,731.

Failure to move through the $4,529 pivot would bring the first major support level at $4,421 into play. Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$4,300 levels. The second major support level at $4,327 should limit the downside.
