This Morning
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.06% to $10,145.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $10,187.0 to a low $10,129.0.
Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.
Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.03%) and Monero’s XMR (-1.17%) led the way down.
Binance Coin (-0.38%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.73%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.62%), EOS (-0.30%), Ethereum (-0.23%), Ripple’s XRP (-0.10%) and Tron’s TRX (-0.24%) also saw red.
Litecoin (+0.17%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.83%), and Tezos (+0.81%) bucked the trend early on.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move back through the morning high $10,187.0 to bring the first major resistance level at $10,253.63 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break through to $10,200 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally day, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside on the day.
In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $10,356.27 and $10,500 levels could come into play.
Failure to move back through the morning high $10,287.0 could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red.
A fall back through the morning low $10,129.0 to sub-$10,062 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,959.73 into play.
Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$9,900 on the day.
