After a particularly bearish start to the week, more losses could be on the cards should the majors fail to breakout from the day's pivot levels.
Ethereum fell by 1.76% on Tuesday. Following a 3.86% loss on Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,786.46.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $1,840.79 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,890, Ethereum slid to an early morning intraday low $1,720.16.
Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $1,776 and the second major support level at $1,734.
Finding support at the 62% FIB of $1,725, Ethereum briefly revisited $1,820 levels before falling back into the red.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.30% to $1,791.83. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,794.80 before falling to a low $1,780.27.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the $1,783 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $1,845 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to move back through to $1,800 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $1,840.79 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could resistance at $1,900 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,903.
A fall back through the $1,783 pivot would bring the 62% FIB of $1,725 and the first major support level at $1,724 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,662.
First Major Support Level: $1,724
Pivot Level: $1,783
First Major Resistance Level: $1,845
23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $3,369

Litecoin slid by 5.21% on Tuesday. Following a 5.06% decline on Monday, Litecoin ended the day at 107.30.
A mixed start to the day saw Litecoin rise to an early morning intraday high $115.06 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $119, Litecoin slid to a late morning intraday low $104.02.
Litecoin fell through the first major support level at $110 and the second major support level at $106.
Steering clear of sub-$100 levels, Litecoin revisited $109 levels before falling back into the deep red.
The first major support level at $110 pegged Litecoin back late in the day.
At the time of writing, Litecoin was up by 0.01% to $107.31. A mixed start to the day saw Litecoin rise to an early morning high $107.70 before falling to a low $106.72.
Litecoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Litecoin would need to move through the $109 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $114 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from $110 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $115.06 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test the second major resistance level at $120.
Failure to move through the $109 pivot would bring the first major support level at $103 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$95 levels. The second major support level at $98 should limit the downside.
First Major Support Level: $103
Pivot Level: $109
First Major Resistance Level: $114
23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $178
38.2% FIB Retracement Level: $223
