Ethereum
Ethereum rallied by 2.86% on Wednesday. After a 1.36% gain on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $ 463.79.
It was a mixed start to the day. Ethereum fell to a morning intraday low $ 449.95 before making a move.
Avoiding the first major support level at $ 441.66, Ethereum hit a late afternoon intraday high $ 476.80.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $ 457.81 and the second major resistance level at $ 464.74.
A late withdrawal, however, saw Ethereum fall back through the second major resistance level to end the day at $ 463.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 0.47% to $ 461.59. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to a morning high $ 464.82 before falling to a low $ 460.03.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested in the beginning.
For the day ahead
Ethereum should move back through the pivot level at $ 463.51 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $ 477.08.
However, support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break out of Wednesday’s high of $ 476.80.
Barring another extended cryptocurrency rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $ 480 would likely limit any upside.
In the event of a breakout, Ethereum might test the resistance at $ 490 before any pullback. The second major resistance level is found at $ 490.36.
Failure to return to the pivot of $ 463.51 would bring the first major support level at $ 450.23 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should avoid levels below $ 450. The second major support level is found at $ 436.66.

For the day ahead
Litecoin should slide back through the $ 59.28 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $ 60.69.
However, support from the broader market would be needed for Litecoin to break out of Wednesday’s $ 60.63 high.
Barring an extended cryptocurrency rally, the first major resistance and resistance level at $ 61 would likely limit any upside.
In the event of a sustained breakout, Litecoin would likely test resistance at $ 63 before any pullback. The second major resistance level is found at $ 62.04.
Failure to return to the pivot level of $ 59.28 would bring the first major support level at $ 57.93 into play.
