It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to move through the day's pivot levels would bring support levels into play.
Ethereum fell by 2.63% on Thursday. Reversing a 1.05% gain from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,776.4.
A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $1,850.00 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $1,863, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $1,758.40.
The pullback saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level at $1,764 before finding support.
Late in the day Ethereum revisited $1,795 levels before falling back to sub-$1,780 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.39% to $1,769.55. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,777.66 before falling to a low $1,767.03.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to move through the pivot level at $1,795 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,832.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,800 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $1,850.00 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,900 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,887.
Failure to move through the $1,795 pivot would bring the first major support level at $1,740 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$1,700 levels. The second major support level at $1,703 should limit the downside.

Litecoin would need to move through the $202 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $206.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $208.23 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended rally, Litecoin could test resistance at $215 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $212.
Failure to move through the $202 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $196 and the 23.6% FIB of $195 into play.
