Falling short of the first major resistance level at $632.11, Ethereum slid to a late intraday low $566.0.
The sell-off saw Ethereum fall through the first major support level and the second major support level at $570.65.
Late in the day, Ethereum moved back through the second major support level before sliding back to sub-$570 levels.

For the day ahead
Ethereum would need to move through the pivot level at $584.72 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $603.44.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break back through to $600 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another breakout, Ethereum could test resistance at $620 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $639.28.
Failure to move through the $584.72 pivot would bring the first major support level at $548.88 into play.
