Ethereum
Ethereum fell by 2.49% on Friday. Following on from an 8.78% slide on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,445.18.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,530.00 before hitting reverse.
Falling well short of the major resistance levels and 23.6% FIB of $1,579, Ethereum fell to a mid-morning intraday low $1,400.01.
Finding support at the first major support level at $1,403, Ethereum struck a late afternoon intraday high $1,564.11.
Falling short of the 23.6% FIB and the first major resistance level at $1,617, Ethereum slid back to $1,411 levels before steadying.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.82% to $1,457.03. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $1,439.59 before rising to a high $1,466.67
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the pivot level at $1,470 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,540.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,500 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and 23.6% FIB of $1,579 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,700 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,634.
Failure to move through the $1,470 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,375 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the 38.2% FIB of $1,292. The second major support level at $1,306 should limit the downside.
