Ethereum

Ethereum rallied by 8.30% on Wednesday. Following on from a 0.46% gain on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $637.98.

A bearish start to the day saw Ethereum fall to a mid-morning intraday low $581.21 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $579.81, Ethereum surged to a late intraday high and a new swing hi $639.58.

Ethereum broke through the days major resistance levels and the previous current years high of $636.53.

In spite of a partial pullback, Ethereum held well above the third major resistance level at $624.20.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 1.03% to $644.56. A mixed start saw Ethereum slip to an early morning low $637.50 before striking a morning high and a new swing hi $645.59.

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

Ethereum would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $619.59 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $657.97.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break through to $650 levels.

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

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $680 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $677.96.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $619.59 pivot would bring the first major support level at $599.60 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of sub-$590 levels. The second major support level sits at $561.22.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $88.25 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $83.20 into play.
