In This Article:

Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 1.07% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 2.17% fall from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 7.34% to $1,935.57.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $1,885.00 before making a move.

Steering well clear of the first major support level at $1,804, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $1,976.72.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,034, Ethereum eased back to end the day at sub-$1,940 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.96% to $1,917.05. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,938.95 before falling to a low $1,909.49.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through the pivot level at $1,932 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,980.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Sunday’s high $1,976.72.

Barring an extended crypto rally, Sunday’s high and the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Ethereum could retest resistance at $2,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,024.

Failure to move back through the $1,932 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,888 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,841.
