It's a bullish start to the day for the majors after last week's slide. A Bitcoin move through to $10,400 levels would support the pack.
Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.71% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 2.74% slide from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week down by 12.39% to $10,276.
It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $10,031.0 before making a move.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $9,884, Bitcoin struck a late intraday high $10,365.1.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $10,551, Bitcoin eased back to wrap up the day at sub-$10,300.
The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$10,000. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend.
Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Sunday.
Bitcoin Cash ABC and EOS ended the day down by 0.79% and by 1.16% respectively to buck the trend.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, it was a bullish start to the day.
At the time of writing, Stellar’s Lumen was up by 2.17% to lead the way.
Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,224 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,417.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Sunday’s high $10,365.1.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a crypto breakout, the second major resistance level at $10,558 would likely come into play.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,224 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,083 into play.
Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $9,890.
