It's a bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to move back through early highs would bring support levels into play.
Ethereum fell by 0.25% on Friday. Following on from an 8.58% slide on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $519.07.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $531.41 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $571.53, Ethereum slid to a mid-afternoon intraday low $493.51.
While steering clear of the first major support level at $474.61, Ethereum fell through the 23.6% FIB of $495.
Finding late support, however, Ethereum broke back through the 23.6% FIB to wrap up the day at $519 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.63% to $515.79. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $520.66 before falling to a low $515.79.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $514.66 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $535.82.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $530 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $531.41 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $550 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $552.56.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $514.66 pivot would bring the first major support level at $497.92 and the 23.6% FIB of $495 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $476.76.
First Major Support Level: $497.92
Pivot Level: $514.66
First Major Resistance Level: $535.82
23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $495

It was a mixed start to the day. Litecoin rose to an early morning intraday high $73.58 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $81.48, Litecoin slid to a late afternoon intraday low $65.28.
While steering clear of the first major support level at $62.52, Litecoin fell through the 38.2% FIB of $71.00.
Finding support late in the day, Litecoin move back through to $69 levels to reduce the deficit on the day.

Litecoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Litecoin would need to move back through the $69.35 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $73.43.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from the 38.2% FIB of $71.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin would likely test the second major resistance level at $77.65.
Failure to move back through the $69.35 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $65.13 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$60 levels. The second major support level at $61.05 should limit any downside.
First Major Support Level: $65.13
Pivot Level: $69.35
First Major Resistance Level: $73.43
23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $45.30
