The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – November 21st, 2020

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rallied by 4.73% on Friday. Following on from a 0.25% gain on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $18,660.0.

It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin slipped to an early morning intraday low $17,753 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $17,386, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $18,810.0.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $18,208 and the second major resistance level at $18,598.

A late pullback saw Bitcoin briefly fall back through the second major resistance level before wrapping up the day at $18,600 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $18,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $9,657 to form a near-term bearish trend.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $18,408 to bring the first major resistance level at $19,062 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break through to $19,000 levels.

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

In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $19,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $19,465.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $18,408 pivot would bring the first major support level at $18,005 into play.

Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$18,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $17,351.
