A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,085.23 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,120, Ethereum slid to a mid-morning intraday low $2,003.10.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $2,007 before striking a late intraday high $2,131.27.

The rebound saw Ethereum break through the first major resistance level at $2,120 before ending the day at sub-$2,110 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.80% to $2,123.92. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $2,107.39 to a high $2,124.48.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $2,081 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $2,158.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Monday’s high $2,131.27.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,200 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,209.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $2,081 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,030 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,900 levels. The second major support level at $1,952 should limit the downside.
