Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 4.58% on Tuesday. Reversing a 3.46% loss from Monday, Ethereum ended the day at $3,436.29.

A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum fall to an early morning intraday low $3,270.74 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $3,122, Ethereum rallied to a final hour intraday high $3,439.15.

While falling short of the first major resistance level at $3,440, Ethereum broke through the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 to end the day at $3,430 levels.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.13% to $3,431.76. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $3,452.06 before falling to a low $3,422.90.

For the day ahead

Ethereum would need to avoid the $3,382 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $3,493 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from Tuesday’s high $3,439.15.

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 $3,600 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $3,551.

A fall through the $3,382 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $3,369 and the first major support level at $3,325 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$3,200 levels. The second major support level at $3,214 should limit the downside.

In the event of another breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $200. The second major resistance level sits at $195.

Failure to move back through the $183 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $178 and the first major support level at $177 into play.
