It's a bullish start to the day for the majors. Steering clear of the day's pivot levels would support another day in the green.
Ethereum rallied by 3.82% on Wednesday. Following on from a 1.30% gain on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $403.18.
It was a bearish start to the day. Ethereum fell from an early morning high $388.69 to a late morning intraday low $376.64.

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $396.27 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $415.91.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Wednesday’s high $409.00.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $396.27 pivot would bring the first major support level at $383.55 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$380 levels. The second major support level sits at $363.91.
