It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to move through the day's pivot levels would leave support levels in play.
Ethereum fell by 4.79% on Sunday. Following a flat day on Saturday, Ethereum ended the week down by 5.75% to $1,313.94.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $1,382.00 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,417, Ethereum slid to a late afternoon intraday low $1,283.00.
Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $1,335 and the second major support level at $1,290.
Finding late support, however, Ethereum broke back through the second major support level to end the day at $1,300 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 1.75% to $1,291.00. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $1,314.10 to a low $1,275.30.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to move through the pivot level at $1,326 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,370.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from $1,350 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $1,382.00 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,400 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,425.
Failure to move through the $1,326 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,271 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,200 levels. The second major support level at $1,227 should limit the downside.
