Ethereum fell by a further 2.65% on Friday. Following on from a 2.61% decline on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $544.23.
It was a mixed start to the day. Ethereum rose to an early morning intraday high $560.62 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $573.35, Ethereum slid to a mid-morning intraday low $535.50.
The reversal saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level at $545.56 before a brief recovery to $550 levels.
A bearish end to the day, however, saw Ethereum fall back through the first major support level to end the day at $544 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.67% to $553.33. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $543.22 before rising to a high $554.20.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $546.78 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $558.07.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from the morning high $554.20.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $560.62 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $570 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $571.90.
Failure to avoid a fall back through the $546.78 pivot would bring the first major support level at $532.95 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$520 levels. The second major support level at $521.66 should limit the downside.

Failure to avoid a fall back through the $72.40 pivot level would bring the 38.2% FIB and the first major support level at $69.72 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break back through to $0.58 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $0.5944 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended rally, Ripple’s XRP could test the second major resistance at $0.6241 and the 23.6% FIB of $0.6274.
