The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June 2019’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed by the March swing lo $4,000.

For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $10,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend.

Tezos led the way once more, rallying by 5.21%.

This Morning

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.46% to $7,573.5. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $7,522.3 to a high $7,573.5.

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

Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.

Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.12%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.14%), Monero’s XMR (+1.34%), and Tron’s TRX (+1.16%) led the way.

Binance Coin (-0.11%), Stellar’s Lumen (-0.02%), and Tezos (-1.18%) struggled early on.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through to $7,600 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $7,675.67 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $7,573.5.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $7,700 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, the 38.2% FIB of $7,730 and the second major resistance level at $7,812.83 would likely come into play.

Failure to move through to $7,600 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse.

A fall through to sub-$7,560 levels would bring the first major support level at $7,425.67 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer of the second major support level at $7,312.83.
