EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.9289 before falling back to sub-$2.89 levels.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to break back through the second major resistance level at $3.0085 to bring the third major resistance level at $3.1009 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through to $3.00 levels.

Barring another extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level and resistance at $3.00 would likely limit any upside.

Failure to break back through the second major resistance level at $3.0085 could see EOS give up early gains.

A fall through to sub-$2.9160 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.8827 into play before any recovery.

Barring a crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer well clear of sub-$2.90 levels on the day.
