Late in the day, Ethereum fell back through the second major resistance level before bouncing back to $151 levels.
A final hour sell-off, led to a pullback through the second major resistance level for a 2nd time to reduce the upside on the day.
The extended bearish trend, formed at late April 2018’s swing hi $828.97, remained firmly intact. A reversal from June’s current year high $364.49 back through the 23.6% FIB of $257 reaffirmed the extended bearish trend.

For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to steer clear of sub-$150 levels to support another run at the first major resistance level at $153.0.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $151 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally on the day, Ethereum would likely struggle to break through Sunday’s high $152.0.
Failure to steer clear of sub-$150 levels would bring the first major support level at $147.36 into play before any recovery.
Barring an extended sell-off through the day, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$147 levels.
