A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $2,552.28 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $2,525, Ethereum rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $2,803.00.
Ethereum broke through the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the first major resistance level at $2,746.

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall back through the $2,687 pivot to bring the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the first major resistance level at $2,822 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $2,800 levels.

A fall back through the $2,687 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,572 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should continue to steer clear of sub-$2,400 levels. The second major support level at $2,437 should limit the downside.
