Ethereum

Ethereum tumbled by 17.31% on Tuesday. Following on from a 4.91% slide on Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $166.26.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $202.72 before hitting reverse.

Coming up short of the first major resistance level at $208.87, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $157.75.

The reversal saw Ethereum fall through the major support levels. Whilst finding support late in the day, Ethereum failed to break back through the third major support level at $176.69.

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.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 2.92% to $171.12. Tracking the broader market, Ethereum rose from an early morning low $166.15 to a high $171.12.

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

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to steer clear of sub-$170 levels to support a partial recovery of Tuesday’s sell-off.

A move through to $176 levels would bring $180 levels into play before any pullback.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, however, we would expect Ethereum to fall well short of the first major resistance level at $193.40. Resistance at $180 would likely cap any upside on the day.

Failure to move through to $176 levels could see Ethereum give up the morning gains.

A fall through to sub-$170 levels would bring sub-$160 levels into play before any recovery.

We would expect Ethereum to steer well clear of the first major support level at $148.43, however.
