It's been a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to revisit early morning highs would leave support levels in play.
Ethereum rose by 2.04% on Monday. Following a 0.86% gain on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,608.12.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $2,503.70 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,467, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $2,666.36.
Coming up against the first major resistance level at $2,666, however, Ethereum fell back to sub-$2,600 levels before finding late support.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.38% to $2,598.24. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,609.07 before falling to a low $2,586.00.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the $2,593 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,682 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,650 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $2,700 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could resistance at $2,800 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,755. Ethereum would need plenty of support, however, to breakout from the 38.2% FIB of $2,740.
A fall back through the $2,593 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,519 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$2,400 levels. The second major support level at $2,430 should limit the downside.
First Major Support Level: $2,519
Pivot Level: $2,593
First Major Resistance Level: $2,682
23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $3,369

Steering clear of the first major support level at $136, Litecoin rallied to a mid-morning intraday high $145.91.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $147, Litecoin fell back to sub-$140 before finding late support.
At the time of writing, Litecoin was down by 0.12% to $141.19. A mixed start to the day saw Litecoin rise to an early morning high $141.48 before falling to a low $140.16.
Litecoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Litecoin would need to move through the $142 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $145 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to back through to $145 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $145.91 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another extended breakout, Litecoin could test the second major resistance level at $149.
Failure to move through the $142 pivot would bring the first major support level at $138 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should continue to steer clear of sub-$130 levels. The second major support level at $135 should limit the downside.
First Major Support Level: $138
Pivot Level: $142
First Major Resistance Level: $145
23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $178

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break out from $0.75 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $0.77278 would likely cap any upside.
