It's a mixed start to the day for the majors. Steering clear of the day's pivot levels will be key, however, to support another breakout day ahead.
Ethereum surged by 11.64% on Wednesday. Following a 6.23% rally on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,829.39.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $3,384.24 before making a move.
Steering clear of the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 and the first major support level at $3,252, Ethereum rallied to a late intraday high $3,843.12.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $3,548 and the second major resistance level at $3,665 to end the day at $3,800 levels.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 0.97% to $3,792.42. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $3,838.28 before falling to a low $3,782.18.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,686 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,987 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $3,900 levels.
Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $4,000 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $4,145.
A fall through the $3,686 pivot would bring the first major support level at $3,528 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer well clear of the second major support level at $3,227. The 23.6% FIB of 3,369 should limit the downside.
