Yahoo Finance The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – June 20th, 2021
Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 0.77% on Saturday. Following a 5.85% slide on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $35,570.0.
A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early high $36,316.0 to an early morning intraday low $34,819.0.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $34,593, Bitcoin rose to a midday intraday high $36,447.0.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the latest slide back to $35,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.
The Rest of the Pack
Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday.
Bitcoin Cash SV and Crypto.com Coin rose by 3.58% and by 2.79% respectively to buck the trend on the day.
It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however.
Polkadot fell by 4.80% to lead the way down, with Chainlink and Ripple’s XRP (-X%) ending the day down by 4.40% and by 4.46% respectively.
Cardano’s ADA (-2.27%), Ethereum (-3.14%), and Litecoin (-2.50%) also struggled.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, it was a bearish start to the day.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to back move through the $35,612 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $36,405 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $36,000 levels.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $36,447.0 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $38,000 before any pullback. The second major level sits at $37,240.
Failure to move back through the $35,612 pivot would bring the first major support level at $34,777 into play.
Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$34,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $33,984.
