Ethereum

Ethereum slid by 3.81% on Thursday. Reversing a 2.77% gain from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,918.07.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,054, Ethereum slid to a late afternoon intraday low $1,880.00.

Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $1,900 before a partial recovery to end the day at $1,918 levels.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $1,946 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,012 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to move back through to $2,000 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $2,039.99 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $2,106.

Failure to move through the $1,946 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,852 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,800 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,786.
