This Morning
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.1% to $9,213.5. A relatively bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $9,231.8 to a low $9,209.0.
Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, Bitcoin Cash ABC hit reverse, sliding by 1.63%, with Bitcoin Cash SV down by 0.98%.
EOS (-0.29%), Ethereum (-0.26%), Binance Coin (-0.22%), and Litecoin (-0.12%) also joined Bitcoin in the red.
Bucking the trend early was Stellar’s Lumen, which was up by 0.57% and Ripple’s XRP, which was flat.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move through to $9,240 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,382.0.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break through to $9,300 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $9,400 levels would likely limit any upside on the day.
In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $9,541.6 could come into play.
Failure to move through to $9,240 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red.
A fall through to sub-$9,200 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,081.4 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off throughout the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $8,940.4.
