The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – October 5th, 2020

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 1.22% on Sunday. Reversing a 0.26% fall from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week down by 1.08% to $10,678.0.

It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $10,541.0 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,509, Bitcoin rose to a mid-morning high $10,676.0.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $10,612 and the second major resistance level at $10,666.

A pullback through the late morning saw Bitcoin fall back through to sub-$10,600 levels going into the afternoon.

Through the 2^nd half of the day, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $10,713.0 before easing back to end the day at $10,680 levels.

The rally saw Bitcoin break back through the first and second major resistance levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$11,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend.

It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however.

At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA was up by 2.39% to lead the way.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $10,647 to bring the first major resistance level at $10,753 back into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to hold onto $10,700 levels.

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

In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $10,819 before any pullback.

Failure to avoid a fall back through the $10,647 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,581 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,500 support levels. The second major support level sits at $10,475.
