It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to move through the day's pivot levels would deliver yet more losses.
Ethereum slid by 5.17% on Monday. Reversing a 1.43% gain from Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,030.72.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $2,169.00 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,182, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $2,002.00.
Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $2,090 and the second major support level at $2,040.
Steering clear of sub-$2,000 levels, Ethereum revisited $2,040 levels before easing back. The second major support level pinned Ethereum back late in the day.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.41% to $2,022.43. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,033.25 before falling to a low $2,012.27.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to move through the $2,067 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,133 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,100 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $2,169.00 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,300 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,234.
Failure to move through the $2,067 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,966 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,900 levels. The second major support level at $1,900 should limit the downside.

Litecoin would need to move through the $135 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $138 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $135 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Monday’s high $139.65 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $145. The second major resistance level sits at $143.
Failure to move through the $135 pivot would bring the first major support level at $130 into play.
