Binance Coin (+3.41%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.23%), Ethereum (+2.49%), Litecoin (+2.71%), and Ripple’s XRP (+2.64%) also found strong support.

For the Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the $38,976 pivot to support a run at the run at the first major resistance level at $39,830.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from this morning’s high $39,519.0.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $40,000 likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally. Bitcoin could test resistance at the 38.2% FIB of $41,592. The second major resistance level sits at $41,315.
A fall back through $38,976 pivot would bring the first major support level at $37,491 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off through the afternoon, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$37,000 levels.
The second major support level sits at $36,637.
Looking beyond the support and resistance levels, the 50 EMA narrowed on the 100 and the 200 early on before widening again in the late morning.
We have also seen the 100 EMA hold its ground on the 200 EMA supporting the upside through the morning.
A further widening of the 50 EMA on the 100 EMA would bring sub-$40,000 levels and the 38.2% FIB of $41,592 into play. Bitcoin would need plenty of support, however, to break out from $40,500 levels.
