The Rest of the Pack
Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors on Sunday.
Ripple’s XRP bucked the trend on the day, gaining 0.78% to end the week up by 6.28%.
It was bearish for the rest of the pack on Sunday, however.
Binance Coin (-4.32%), Litecoin (4.17%), Ethereum (-3.70%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.97%), and EOS (-2.89%) all saw heavy losses.
Stellar’s Lumen and Bitcoin Cash ABC saw more modest losses of 0.95% and 0.97% respectively.
For the week, it was also mixed.
Bitcoin Cash SV and Binance Coin joined Bitcoin in the red, with losses of 2.99% and 1.18% respectively.
It was a positive start to October for the rest of the pack, however, with Ripple’s 6.28% gain leading the way. EOS wasn’t far behind, rising by 4.40%.
Litecoin (+1.08%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.98%), Ethereum (+0.47%) and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.43%) saw modest gains.

This Morning
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.66% to $7,831.3. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin slide from an early morning high $7,892.4 to a low $7,793.2.
Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, Bitcoin Cash SV bucked the trend in the early hours, rising by 0.52%.
It was red for the rest of the pack, however, with Litecoin (-0.72%) and Binance Coin (-0.6%) leading the way down.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,960 levels to support a return to $8,000 levels.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to take a run at the first major resistance level at $8,108.57.
Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, we would expect Bitcoin to face strong resistance at $8,000.
Failure to move through to $7,960 levels would see Bitcoin struggle on the day. A fall back through to sub-$7,800 levels would bring the first major support level at $7,732.07 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off through the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,700 support levels.
