It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. A move back through early highs would support another crypto breakout...
EOS rose by 1.67% on Thursday. Following on from a 2.49% gain on Wednesday, EOS ended the day at $2.6146.
A bearish start to the day saw EOS fall to a late morning intraday low $2.5202 before making a move.
EOS fell through the first major support level at $2.5245 before rallying to a final hour intraday high $2.6269.
EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.5935 and the second major resistance level at $2.6181 before pulling back.

EOS broke through the first major resistance level at $2.6543 early on.
EOS would need to hold above the first major resistance level at $2.6543 to bring the second major resistance level at $2.6939 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for EOS to break out from the morning high $2.6747.
Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $2.70 would likely leave EOS short of the second major resistance level.
Failure to hold above the first major resistance level could see EOS hit reverse.
A fall through the morning low $2.6146 to sub-$2.60 levels would bring the first major support level at $2.5476 into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, EOS should steer clear of sub-$2.60 levels on the day.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside on the day.

A fall through the morning low $220.25 to sub-$215.20 levels would bring the first major support level at $209.73 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break back through to $0.2030 levels
Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, the first major resistance level and morning high would likely limit any upside.
