It's been a bullish start to the day for the majors. Avoiding the day's pivot levels would support further upside through the day ahead.
Ethereum rose by 1.04% on Thursday. Following on from a 4.63% gain on Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,988.81.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $1,884.77 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,847, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $2,035.39.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to avoid the $1,970 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,055 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Thursday’s high $2,035.90.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

A fall through the $1,970 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,904 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the 62% FIB of $1,725. The second major support level at $1,819 should limit the downside.

Pivot Level: $1,970
