EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $4.6913 before falling to a mid-day intraday low $4.5030.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $4.4541, EOS broke back through the first major resistance level before easing back.

For the day ahead

EOS would need to move back through the first major support level to $4.5960 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $4.6881.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break back through to $4.60 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $4.60 would likely leave EOS short of the first major resistance level at $4.6881.

Failure to move through to $4.5960 levels would likely see EOS struggle throughout the day.

A fall back through the morning low $4.4338 would bring the second major support level at $4.4040 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should continue to steer of sub-$4.40 levels.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move back through to $220.50 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $227.69.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Friday’s high $224.78.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rebound, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move through to $220.50 levels could see Ethereum spend the day in the red.

A fall back through the first major support level at $215.85 would bring sub-$210 levels into play before any recovery.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major resistance level at $208.47.
