Looking technically, EOS/USD is supported SMA100 (1-hour) currently at $5.21. Once it is cleared, the downside may be extended towards the above said $5.00 handle, which is the lowest level since September 26 and strong psychological support. If it fails to stop the bears, the downside will be extended towards $4.76 (September 18 low).

On the upside, the recovery is capped by $5.4 (SMA100, 4-hour) with the next focus on SMA200 (4-hour) at $5.5. The upper border of the recent channel at $5.60 is likely to cap the recovery. The ultimate support is seen at $6.00, a sustainable move higher is needed to mitigate the bearish pressure.
