After a mixed day for the majors on Sunday, avoiding the day's pivot levels would be key to supporting a bullish start to the week.
Ethereum rose by 4.68% on Sunday. Following a 0.22% decline on Saturday, Ethereum ended the week down by 8.05% to $3,060.71.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum slide to a late morning intraday low $2,741.34 before making a move.
Ethereum fell through the first major support level at $2,826.
Finding support at the 38.2% FIB of $2,740, however, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $3,117.48.

Ethereum would need to avoid the $2,973 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,205 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $3,200 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level 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 $3,349.
A fall through the $2,973 pivot would bring the first major support level at $2,829 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $2,597. The 38.2% FIB of $2,740 should limit the downside.
