Ethereum
Ethereum slumped by 19.35% on Thursday. Reversing a 0.67% gain from Wednesday, Ethereum ended the day at $1,110.62.
A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning intraday high $1,390.00 before hitting reverse.
Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $1,446, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $1,081.00.
The sell-off saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level at $1,271 and the second major support level at $1,165.
More significantly, Ethereum also fell through the 23.6% FIB of $1,119.
Finding late support, however, Ethereum ended the day at $1,100 levels. The 23.6% FIB of $1,119 pinned Ethereum back late on.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 1.42% to $1,094.83. A mixed start to the day saw Ethereum rise to an early morning high $1,117.35 before falling to a low $1,094.83.
Ethereum left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the 23.6% FIB of $1,119 and the pivot level at $1,194 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $1,307.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $1,300 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another extended crypto rally, Ethereum could test resistance at $1,400 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $1,503.
Failure to move through 23.6% FIB of $1,119 and the $1,194 pivot would bring the first major support level at $998 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off, however, Ethereum should steer clear of the second major support level at $885. The 38.2% FIB of $921 should limit the downside.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break back through to $140 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and 23.6% FIB would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended breakout, Litecoin could test resistance at $160. The second major resistance level sits at $160.12.
Failure to move through the $135.17 pivot level would bring the 38.2% FIB of $125 and the first major support level at $119.98 into play.
