The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – September 20th, 2021

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 2.24% on Sunday. Reversing a 2.14% gain from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 2.61% to $47,239.0.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to a late morning intraday high $48,370.3 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $49,063, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $46,837.0.

Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $47,310 to end the day at sub-$47,300 levels. Finding late support, Bitcoin moved back through to $47,200 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest return to $43,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.29% to $47,100.3. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $47,327.0 before falling to a low $47,076.0.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

Elsewhere, it was a bearish start to the day.

At the time of writing, Crypto.com Coin was down by 1.34% to lead the way down.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through the $47,482 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $48,127 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from $47,500 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $48,370.3 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $50,000 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $49,015.

Failure to move through the $47,482 pivot would bring the first major support level at $46,594 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$45,500 levels. The second major support level at $45,949 should limit the downside.
