EOS is still in a corrective pattern, somewhat similar to bitcoin at the moment. I discussed yesterday the possibility of this being an ABC or an ABCDE type correction. It's developed a wedge that very much looks like an ABCDE pattern.

If that's the case, it could play out a couple different ways. The first has wave D rising a bit further before it drops to complete wave E. This may look like this:

The second ABCDE pattern is the most bullish. It'd have the corrective pattern complete, with wave 1 currently in progress. The problem I have with this is, volume is weak. It doesn't seem like an impulse wave at this point. That said, many EOS first waves start off weak when following a long correction. They then end up gaining momentum. If this is the case, it may play out like this:

The second possible corrective pattern is more bearish in the short term. It would have EOS in an ABC type correction. To determine a logical place for wave C to drop, I pulled the fibonacci retracement tool from bottom to top of the prior 5 waves.
A logical place for wave C to drop would be between the bottom of wave A and the 0.5 fib level. However, there's strong support around $14.70. Due to that, I'm putting a target zone for wave C just above the 0.05 fib level. If this scenario is correct, the target for wave C would be between $16.00 and $14.70.

Once this scenario is complete, I'd expect an impulse wave up...something like this:

Looking at the 30 min MACD, we can see the histogram is being squeezed tighter and tighter within a wedge. As it moves closer to the apex, a breakout becomes more and more likely.

The 1 hour RSI has developed strong support at 29.9. If this support breaks, I would expect EOS to follow the ABC correction above.

Finally, looking at the 4 hour chart, we can see the 8 day EMA has fallen below the 21 day EMA. This is a slightly bearish sign, but I'm not reading too much into it at this time. If the 8 day EMA falls below the 55 day EMA, that'd be a very bearish sign and I'd need to reassess my analysis.
