Steering clear of the first major support level at $8,946.67, Bitcoin rallied to a final hour intraday high $9,630.3.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $9,349.47 and second major resistance level at $9,488.63 before easing back.

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 the 62% FIB of $10,034 to form a near-term bullish trend.

Cardano’s ADA surged by 17.71% to lead the way.

Binance Coin (+3.64%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+3.34%), Ethereum (+5.77%), Monero’s XMR (+4.28%), Stellar’s Lumen (+4.92%), Tezos (+4.37%), and Tron’s TRX (+3.12%) also found strong support.

Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.17%), EOS (+1.67%), Litecoin (+2.05%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.37%) trailed the front runners.

In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to an early Monday low $238.04bn before rising to an early Friday high $263.53bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $261.58bn.

Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.

Cardano’s ADA joined Bitcoin in the red, with a 0.46% loss at the time of writing.

It was a bullish start to the day for the rest of the pack, however.

EOS led the way early on, rallying by 1.49%.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid sub-$9,450 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $9,773.67 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $9,630.3.

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

In the event of another extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $9,958.03 and the 62% FIB of $10,034 would likely come into play.

Failure to avoid sub-$9,450 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red.

A fall back through the morning low to sub-$9,450 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,261.57 into play.

Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer well clear of the second major support level at $8,933.83.
