Ethereum

Ethereum had a mixed day on Monday and ended the day pretty much where it had started.

It started the day bullish after pushing through the 50.0% Fibonacci resistance at $4562.16 in late Sunday trading.

Just before daybreak, Ethereum crossed through the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $4633.96, and with high volumes.

It sustained this momentum until early afternoon, when it hit weekly resistance at $4771.92.

However, with bears taking control in the broader market, Ethereum dropped hard and crashed through the 61.8% Fibonacci, now support at $4633.96, in the early evening.

The selloff continued through the evening, and by the end of the day, Ethereum was trading back at the 50.0% Fibonacci, now support at $4562.16.

Ethereum started Tuesday with the same bearish momentum that started on Monday.

Within the first hour of the day, it had crashed through the 38.2% Fibonacci support at $4490.37 and came close to testing the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4401.68.

By hour two of the day, it had pushed through the 23.6% Fibonacci support. At the time of going to press, Ethereum was close to testing the multi-month support at $4258.09.

A glance at the day ahead

The key levels to watch in the day are the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance at $4401.68 and the multi-month support at $4258.09.

If bulls take control and push Ethereum through the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance at $4401.68, the next key level to watch is the 38.2% Fibonacci resistance at $4490.37.

If bulls sustain momentum through this resistance, prices above $4500 could be seen in the day.

On the other hand, if bears take control and push Ethereum through the multi-month support at $4258.09, prices below $4200 could be seen in the day.

However, if volumes drop, Ethereum could range between the 23.6% Fib at $4401.68 and the multi-month support at $4258.09.
