It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to move through the day's pivot levels will leave support levels in play.
Ethereum rallied by 2.86% on Wednesday. Following on from a 1.36% gain on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $463.79.
It was a mixed start to the day. Ethereum fell to an early morning intraday low $449.95 before making a move.

Ethereum would need to move back through the pivot level at $463.51 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $477.08.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $476.80.
Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $480 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $490 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $490.36.
Failure to move back through the $463.51 pivot would bring the first major support level at $450.23 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$450 levels. The second major support level sits at $436.66.
