Ethereum
Ethereum rose by just 0.08% on Tuesday. Following a 4.37% rally on Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $178.96.
A particularly choppy morning saw Ethereum strike an early morning high $180.89 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $183.54, Ethereum fell to a late morning intraday low $175.14.
In spite of the sell-off, Ethereum steered clear of the first major support level at $172.30.
Finding support from the broader market, Ethereum rallied to an early afternoon intraday high $183.15. Ethereum came up short of the first major resistance level at $183.54 before easing back to sub-$180 levels.
A late move through to $181 levels was short-lived, with Ethereum falling back to sub-$180 levels at the day end.
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 down by 0.54% to $178.0. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $179.47 before falling to a low $177.37.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move back through to $179 levels to take a run at the first major resistance level at $183.03.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $180 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Tuesday’s high $183.15 and first major resistance level should cap any upside.
Failure to move back through to $179 levels could see Ethereum slide back through the morning low to S176 levels.
Barring an extended sell-off through the day, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the first major support level at $175.02.
