Ethereum
Ethereum rallied 3.82% on Wednesday. After a 1.30% gain on Tuesday, Ethereum ended the day at $ 403.18.
It was a bearish start to the day. Ethereum fell from a morning high $ 388.69 to a morning intraday low $ 376.64.
Avoiding the first major support level at $ 375.83, Ethereum hit a late afternoon intraday high of $ 409.00.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $ 395.58 and the second major resistance level at $ 402.84.
Meeting the resistance at $ 410, Ethereum rallied back below $ 400 levels before ending the day at $ 403.
The second major resistance level stalled Ethereum at the end of the day.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up 0.60% to $ 405.59. A bullish start to the day saw Ethereum rise from a morning low $ 403.19 to a high $ 405.78.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested at the start.
For the day ahead
Ethereum should avoid a fall through the pivot level at $ 396.27 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $ 415.91.
However, support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break out of Wednesday’s high of $ 409.00.
Barring an extended cryptocurrency rally, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.
In the event of a further breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $ 420 before any pullback. The second major resistance level is found at $ 428.63.
Failure to avoid a downside through the $ 396.27 pivot would bring the first major support level at $ 383.55 into play.
Barring a prolonged sell-off, however, Ethereum should avoid levels below $ 380. The second major support level is found at $ 363.91.

However, support from the broader market would be needed for Litecoin to break out of Wednesday’s high of $ 55.34.

However, support from the broader market would be required for Ripple’s XRP to return to $ 0.24.
Barring an extended cryptocurrency rally, the first major resistance level and Wednesday high $ 0.24052 would likely limit any upside.
