The Rest of the Pack

Binance Coin (+0.05%), EOS (+0.61%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.33%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.60%) trailed the front runners.
Bitcoin Cash SV and Tron’s TRX bucked the trend on the day, falling by 0.36% and by 0.41% respectively.
For the week, it was red across the board for the crypto majors, in spite of the upside on Sunday.
Stellar’s Lumen (-8.81%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-8.63%), and Bitcoin Cash SV (-8.54%) leading the way down.
EOS (-5.29%), Litecoin (-7.01%), and Ripple’s XRP (-5.61%) were also deep in the red for the week.
Binance Coin (-1.18%), Ethereum (-2.65%), and Tron’s TRX (-3.47%) saw relatively modest losses.
Through the week, the total crypto market cap fell from a Monday week high $246.9bn to a Saturday week low $232.03bn. A recovery to $241bn levels on Wednesday had been short-lived as the majors hit reverse. Support at the end of the week saw the market cap rise back up to $238bn levels. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $234.44bn.
Bitcoin’s dominance briefly moved back to 66% levels on Thursday, before easing back to 65% levels. Trading volumes fell back to $60bn levels, after having risen to $74bn levels on Saturday.
This Morning
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.41% to $8,502.7. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $8,537.0 to a low $8,502.4.
Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, Tron’s TRX bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.35%.
It was red for the rest of the pack, however, with Binance Coin (-1.41%) and Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.56%) leading the way down.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move back through to $8,550 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $8,689.73.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $8,600 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $8,699.5 would likely limit any upside.
Failure to move through to $8,550 levels could see Bitcoin slide deeper into the red.
A fall through to sub-$8,500 levels would bring Sunday’s low $8,404.4 into play before any recovery.
Barring a crypto meltdown, Bitcoin should steer clear of the first major support level at $8,394.63.
