Ethereum

Ethereum rose by 2.89% on Monday. Following a 5.83% rally on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,582.86.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to a late morning intraday low $2,461.63 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,363, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $2,609.02.

Coming up against the first major resistance level at $2,603, Ethereum eased back to end the day at $2,580 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.32% to $2,591.11. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,597.76 before falling to a low $2,572.2.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $2,551 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,641 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Monday’s high $2,609.02.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $2,699.

A fall through the $2,551 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,493 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,400 levels. The second major support level at $2,404 should limit the downside.
