Ethereum
Ethereum slid 3.25% on Monday. After a 1.48% drop on Sunday, Ethereum ended the day at $ 393.12.
A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a morning intraday high $ 411.7 before reversing.
Failing to reach the first major resistance level at $ 415.24, Ethereum slipped to an afternoon intraday low $ 382.21.
Ethereum broke through the first major support level at $ 400.30 and the second major support level at $ 394.14.
Avoiding levels below $ 380, Ethereum broke through the second major support level before ending the day at $ 393.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up 0.16% to $ 393.75. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum drop to a morning low of $ 392.91 before climbing to a high of $ 393.78.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested in the beginning.
For the day ahead
Ethereum should break above the $ 395.60 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $ 408.99.
However, broader market support would be required for Ethereum to return to $ 400 levels.
Barring an extended cryptocurrency rally, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test the resistance at $ 410 before any pullback. The second major resistance level is found at $ 424.86.
Failure to break out of the pivot of $ 395.60 would bring the first major support level at $ 379.73 into play.
Barring another extended sell off, however, Ethereum is expected to avoid the 38.2% FIB of $ 367. The second major support level stands at $ 366.34.

However, support from the broader market would be needed for Litecoin to rise above $ 58.
Barring an extended cryptocurrency rally, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Litecoin will likely test the second major resistance level at $ 61.43.
Failure to move to the pivot level of $ 57.08 would bring the first major support level at $ 54.81 and the 23.6% FIB of $ 54 into play.
