It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. Avoiding a fall through the day's pivot levels would support further upside, however.
Ethereum rose by 4.07% on Wednesday. Reversing a 3.22% fall from Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,611.27.
A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $2,406.33 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,338, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $2,628.16.
Coming within range of the first major resistance level at $2,651, Ethereum eased back to end the day at $2,611 levels.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to avoid the $2,549 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,691 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $2,628.16.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the second major resistance level at $2,770.
A fall through the $2,549 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,469 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $2,327.
First Major Support Level: $2,469
Pivot Level: $2,549
First Major Resistance Level: $2,691

Litecoin would need to avoid the $166 pivot to bring the 62% FIB and the first major resistance level at $180 back into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from the 62% FIB of $174.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $200. The second major resistance level sits at $187.
A fall through the $166 pivot would bring the first major support level at $159 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$150 levels. The second major support level sits at $145.
A sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $174 would form a near-term bearish trend from 10th May’s swing hi $413.91.
