While the global equity markets saw heavy losses in the quarter, Bitcoin fell by just 10.83%. A 24.9% slide in March reversed gains from the start of the year.
The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June 2019’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed by the March swing lo $4,000.
For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $10,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend.
The Rest of the Pack
Across the rest of the majors, it was also a mixed end to the quarter.
Bitcoin Cash ABC, Bitcoin Cash SV, and EOS bucked the trend with losses of 0.18%, 0.78%, and 0.62% respectively on Tuesday.
It was a bullish day for the rest of the pack, however.
Binance Coin (+3.2%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.56%), and Monero’s XMR (+3.43%) led the way.
Ethereum (+0.59%), Litecoin (+0.41%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.49%), Stellar’s Lumen (+1.90%), Tezos (+0.07%), and Tron’s TRX (+1.08%) saw modest gains on the day.
Through the start of the week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $168.04bn to a Tuesday high $182.28bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $178.54bn.

This Morning
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.46% to $6,334.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $6,439.9 to a low $6,285.9.
Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $6,339.6 and 23.6% FIB of $6,300 early on.

Monero’s XMR, Stellar’s Lumen, and Tezos were down by 2.53%, by 1.97%, and by 1.92% to lead the way down.
Cardano’s ADA, Ripple’s XRP, and EOS were flat at the time of writing.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move back through to $6,440 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $6,525.9 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $6,500 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside on the day.
Failure to move back through to $6,440 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red.
A fall back through to the 23.6% FIB of $6,300 would bring the second major support level at $6,251.50 back into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should continue to steer of sub-$6,000 levels. The third major support level at $6,065.2 should limit any downside on the day.
