Ethereum
Ethereum was up 9.43% on Friday. After a 3.47% rally on Thursday, Ethereum ended the day at $ 456.65.
It was a particularly bullish day. Ethereum rallied from a morning intraday low $ 415.57 to a last hour intraday high $ 458.92.
Ethereum broke through the first major resistance level at $ 426.80 and the second major resistance level at $ 436.44.
It was the first close at $ 450 since September.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was up 0.07% to $ 456.95. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum drop to a morning low $ 455.63 before hitting a high $ 456.99.
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 $ 443.71 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $ 471.86.
However, support from the broader market would be needed for Ethereum to break out of Friday’s high at $ 458.92.
Barring another 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 $ 490 before any pullback. The second major resistance level is found at $ 487.06.
Failure to avoid a fall through the pivot of $ 443.71 would bring the first major support level at $ 428.51 into play.
Barring a prolonged sell-off, however, Ethereum should avoid levels below $ 420. The second major support level is found at $ 400.36.
