It's a mixed start to the day as Stellar's Lumen gives up some of the weekly gains. Ethereum could come under pressure as the rest of the majors fall back.
Ethereum rose by 1.41% on Tuesday. Following on from a 2.49% gain on Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $188.88.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $187.66 before sliding to a mid-morning intraday low $181.76.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $181.30, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $192.47.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $190.35 before sliding back to sub-$190 levels.
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 0.38% to $189.59. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning low $187.87 before striking a high $190.87.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
A move back through to $190 levels would support another run at the first major resistance level at $193.65.
Ethereum would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from Tuesday’s high $192.47.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally later in the day, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.
Failure to move back through to $190 levels could see Ethereum give up the early gains. A fall back through the morning low to $187.70 levels would bring the first major support level at $182.94 into play.
Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$180 levels on the day.

Major Resistance Level: $193.65
