It's been a bearish start to the day. Failure to move back through the day's pivot levels would leave support levels in play.
Ethereum fell by 3.22% on Tuesday. Following a 4.37% loss on Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,509.11.
A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $2,621.91 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $2,769, Ethereum tumbled to a mid-afternoon intraday low $2,308.75.
Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $2,495 and the second major support level at $2,398.
Finding late support, Ethereum broke back through the major support levels to end the day at $2,500 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 2.79% to $2,439.09. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,525.00 before falling to a low $2,425.26.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $2,621.91 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $2,740. The second major resistance level sits at $2,793.
Failure to move back through the $2,480 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,338 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,000 levels. The second major support level at $2,167 should limit the downside.

Failure to move back through the $157 pivot would bring the first major support level at $149 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$140 levels. The second major support level sits at $138.
