Ethereum would need to move through the $4,529 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $4,623 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $4,600 levels. Barring an extended rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $4,637 should limit the upside.
