It's been a mixed start for the majors. A move back through the early highs would be needed to support further upside in the day ahead.
Ethereum rose by 3.94% on Tuesday. Following on from a 4.99% gain on Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,166.18.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $2,074.53 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $1,980, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $2,247.03.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $2,166 to end the day at $2,166 levels.
The second major resistance level at $2,248 had pinned Ethereum back in the late afternoon.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.78% to $2,149.29. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,169.94 before falling to a low $2,140.21.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to move back the $2,163 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $2,251 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Tuesday’s high $2,247.03.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $2,300 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rebound, Ethereum could test resistance at $2,400. The second major resistance level sits at $2,335.
Failure to move back through the $2,163 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,078 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $1,990.
