Bitcoin Finally Bounces Back

Bitcoin Cash rallied by 9.08% on Friday, reversing Thursday’s 7.71% slide, to end the day at $717.3, leaving Bitcoin Cash down 3.99% for the current week.

Bitcoin Cash slumped through the morning to an intraday low and new swing lo $645.5, holding above the first major support level at $629.4, before a relatively range bound afternoon that led to a late rally through the day’s first major resistance level at $706.1 to an intraday high $740 late in the day.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash was up 5.68% to $755.6, with the late Friday rally carrying on into the early hours, Bitcoin Cash breaking through the day’s first major resistance level at $756.37 to a morning high $787.4, before easing back to $750 levels, a start of the day $715.3 steering well clear of the first major support level at $661.87.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high would support a run at the second major support level at $795.43 to bring $800 levels into play and begin raising the prospects of a bearish trend reversal, though Bitcoin Cash will need to break through the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $930 to begin forming a near-term bullish trend.

Failure to move back through the morning’s high could see Bitcoin Cash cough up early gains and pullback through the morning’s low to bring sub-$700 support levels into play, with direction through the day hinged on whether Bitcoin Cash can avoid a mid-morning sell-off to sub-$700 levels.

Litecoin Recovers

Litecoin gained 6.52% on Friday, partially reversing Thursday’s 7.8% slide, to end the day at $79.09, leaving Litecoin down 1.87% for the current week.

Following the broader market, Litecoin slid to an intraday low and new swing lo $72.43, holding above the day’s first major support level at $71.89, with a late in the day rally seeing Litecoin break through the first major resistance level at $79.08 to an intraday high $80.49 before easing back to sub-$80 levels by the day’s end.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high would support a run at the second major resistance level at $85.4 to bring $90 levels into play, any break through to $90 levels forming the beginnings of a bearish trend reversal, with the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $98 the next target for the Litecoin bulls.

Failure to move back through the morning high could see Litecoin pullback through the middle of the day to sub-$80 levels to test the day’s first major support level at $74.18 before any recovery, with the news wires likely to play a hand in direction through the day, sentiment across the broader market having been upbeat through the morning.
