This Morning

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.46% to $9,375.2. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $9,332.2 to a high $9,400.6 before easing back.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

Elsewhere, Bitcoin Cash ABC led the way, rallying by 3.21%.

Tron’s TRX (+1.38%) and Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.15%) also found strong support early on.

Stellar’s Lumen bucked the trend, down by 0.44% at the time of writing.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to steer clear of sub-$9,340 levels to support another run at the first major resistance level at $9,423.90.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $9,400 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally later in the day, Bitcoin will likely fall short of $9,500 levels for a 5^th consecutive day.

Failure to steer clear of sub-$9,340 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse.

A fall back through to sub-$9,300 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,245.90 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $9,159.70.
