It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to move through early highs would leave support levels in play.
Ethereum rose by 5.13% on Wednesday. Following on from a 3.94% gain on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,276.72.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $2,089.16 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,078, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $2,288.00.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $2,251 to end the day at $2,270 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 1.70% to $2,237.91. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,277.44 before falling to a low $2,235.25.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to avoid the $2,218 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,347 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $2,288.00.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rebound, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,500. The second major resistance level sits at $2,417.
A fall through the $2,218 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,148 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,000 levels. The second major support level at $2,019 should limit the downside.

Failure to move back through the $143 pivot would bring the first major support level at $138 into play.
