The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – July 13th, 2020
Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.76%% on Sunday. Reversing a 0.63% decline from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 2.50% to $9,315.8.
It was a mixed start to the day for Bitcoin. Bitcoin fell from an early morning high $9,303.8 to a late morning low $9,251.2 before finding support.
Steering clear of the major support and resistance levels, Bitcoin rallied to an early afternoon intraday high $9,368.4.
Breaking through the first major resistance level at $9,305.37 before hitting reverse. Coming up against the second major resistance level at $9,364.43, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $9,175.0.
Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $9,193.67 before bouncing back to $9,340 levels.
The rebound saw Bitcoin break back through the first major resistance level at $9,305.37 to wrap up the day in the green.
The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the early July pullback to sub-$9,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend.

Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.
Tezos led the way early on, rising by 3.86%. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.10%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.41%), and Monero’s XMR (+0.29%) also found early support.
It was bearish for the rest of the majors, however.
At the time of writing, Binance Coin was down by 0.98% to lead the way down.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $9,286 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,398.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Sunday’s high $9,368.4.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $9,368.4 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin should break through the second major resistance level at $9,479.8 before any pullback.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $9,398 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $9,204.4 into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$9,000 levels. The second major resistance level at $9,093.0 should limit any downside.
