This Morning
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.31% to $10,616. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $10,560 before rising to a high $10,621.
Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

Leading the way in the early hours was Monero’s XMR, which was up by 0.66%.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move back through the morning high $10,621 to bring the first major resistance level at $10,691 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $10,663.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Thursday’s high and first major resistance level would likely pin Bitcoin back on the day.
Failure to move back through the morning high could see Bitcoin hit reverse.
A fall back through the morning low $10,560 would bring the first major support level at $10,446.67 into play.
Barring a crypto meltdown, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $10,310.43.
