Yahoo Finance Bitcoin – Holds onto $4,000 Levels, but only Just…
Bitcoin fell by 0.53% on Sunday. Reversing a 0.45% gain from Saturday with interest, Bitcoin ended the day at $4,041.4.
The reversal left Bitcoin down 0.68% for the week, marking a first weekly loss since the week of 11th February.
A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an intraday high $4,063.1 to a morning low $4035.1 before finding support.
Support through the late morning led Bitcoin back to $4,050 levels before a late slide to an intraday low $4,011.0
The reversal saw Bitcoin slide through the first major support level at $4,033.07 to come within range of the second major support level at $4,002.93.
For the Bitcoin bulls, a crisis was averted by avoiding a slide to sub-$4,000 levels on the day.

Stellar’s Lumen recorded the heaviest loss of the week. A 2.06% fall on Sunday left Stellar’s Lumen down by 4.6%.
Ending the week flat having been looking in with a chance of an upward move through the week was Tron’s TRX. Tron slumped by 4.25% on Sunday to end the week with just a 0.17% gain.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.15% to $4,047.6. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $4,033.9. Steering well clear of the first major support level at $4,013.9, Bitcoin recovered to a morning high $4,049.9 before easing back. The day’s major resistance levels were also left untested early on.
For the day ahead
A move through to $4,050 levels would support a run at the first major resistance level at $4,066. For Bitcoin to break through to $4,100 levels, support would be needed from the broader market.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, we would expect Bitcoin to come up short of the second major resistance level at $4,090.6.
Failure to move through to $4,050 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse later in the day. A pullback through the morning low $4,033.9 would bring $4,020 levels into play before any recovery. The first major support level at $4,013.9 would likely limit any downside on the day.
