It's a relatively bearish start to the day for the majors. Failure to move back through the early highs will test support early on.

Ethereum

Ethereum fell by 1.48% on Sunday. Reversing a 0.74% gain from Saturday, Ethereum ended the week up by 7.37% to $406.46.

A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $417.86 before hitting reverse.

Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $417.25 before sliding to a late afternoon intraday low $402.92.

Falling through the first major support level at $407.65, Ethereum found support to wrap up the day at $406 levels.

The second major support level at $402.73 limited the downside on the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.37% to $404.94. A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall from an early morning high $406.60 to a low $404.34.

Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to move through the $409.08 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $415.24.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $415 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $420 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $424.02.

Failure to move through the $409.08 pivot would bring the first major support level at $400.30 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level sits at $394.14.

For the day ahead

Litecoin would need to avoid a fall through the $58.47 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $60.39.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from Sunday’s high $59.99.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Litecoin would likely test the second major resistance level at $61.90.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $58.47 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $56.96 into play.
