Following Friday's pullback, the majors will need to break through the day's pivot levels in order to avoid another sell-off.
Ethereum slid by 9.04% on Friday. Reversing a 1.04% gain from Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,809.07.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $2,019.39 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,055, Ethereum slid to a mid-afternoon intraday low $1,792.00.
The sell-off saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level at $1,904 and the second major support level at $1,819.
Steering clear of the 62% FIB of $1,725, Ethereum briefly broke back through the second major support level before ending the day at sub-$1,810 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.21% to $1,805.22. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,818.24 before falling to a low $1,799.51.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to move through the $1,874 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $1,955 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,900 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $2,019.39 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rebound, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,200. The second major resistance level sits at $2,101.
Failure to move through the $1,874 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,728 and the 62% FIB of $1,725 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $1,646.
First Major Support Level: $1,728
Pivot Level: $1,874
First Major Resistance Level: $1,955
23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $3,369

Litecoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Litecoin would need to move through the $129 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $134 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $130 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $138.45 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $150. The second major resistance level sits at $143.
Failure to move through the $129 pivot would bring the first major support level at $120 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$110 levels. The second major support level at $115 should limit the downside.
First Major Support Level: $120

First Major Resistance Level: $134
23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $178
