After Friday's pullback, failure to revisit the yesterday's highs would leave the majors under pressure.
Ethereum slid by 7.10% on Friday. Reversing a 2.48% gain from Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $2,930.61.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $3,160.48 before hitting reverse.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,213, Ethereum slid to a late morning intraday low $2,735.00.
Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $3,066 and the second major support level at $2,978.
Finding late support, Ethereum briefly broke back through the second major support level before ending the day at $2,930 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by $2,926.40. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $2,942.73 before falling to a low $2,913.44.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to move through the $2,942 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,149 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $3,100 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $3,160.48 would likely cap the upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,368.
Failure to move through the $2,942 pivot would bring the 38.2% FIB of $2,740 and the first major support level at $2,724 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$2,600 levels. The second major support level sits at $2,517.

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at the 23.6% FIB of $178 and the second major resistance level at $178.
Failure to move through the $154 pivot would bring the first major support level at $141 into play.
