Bitcoin and Ripple’s XRP – Weekly Technical Analysis – November 23rd, 2020

Bitcoin

Bitcoin rallied by 15.20% in the week ending 22^nd November. Following a 3.00% gain from the week prior, Bitcoin ended the week at $18,392.0.

It was a bullish week. Bitcoin rallied from a Monday intraweek low $15,874.0 to a Saturday intraweek high and a new swing hi $18,945.0.

The rally saw Bitcoin break through the first major resistance level at $16,684 and the second major resistance level at $17,402.

Coming up against resistance at $19,000, however, Bitcoin fell back on Sunday to end the week at sub-$18,500 levels.

5 days in the green that included a 5.72% rally on Tuesday and a 4.73% gain on Friday delivered the upside for the week.

For the week ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through $17,737 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $19,600.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from last week’s high $18,945.0.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $20,808.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $17,737 pivot would bring the first major support level at $16,529 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$16,000 support levels. The second major support level sits at $14,666.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.95% to $18,217.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $18,498.0 before falling to a low $18,003.0
