The Rest of the Pack
Across the rest of the majors, it has been a mixed morning.
Bitcoin Cash SV was down by 1.56% to buck the trend through the morning.
It was a bullish morning for the rest of the majors, however.
Crypto.com Coin and Ripple’s XRP were up by 12.33% and by 12.40% to lead the way.
Binance Coin (+7.89%), Chainlink (+9.60%), Ethereum (+8.04%), and Litecoin (+8.36%) also found strong support.
Cardano’s ADA (+6.41%) and Polkadot (+2.68%) trailed the front runners, however.
Through the early hours, the crypto total market fell to an early morning low $1,450bn before rising to a high $1,614bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $1,600bn.
Bitcoin’s dominance rose to an early high 44.14% before falling to a low 43.24%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 43.51%.
For the Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the first major resistance level at $36,900 to support a run at $40,000 levels.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the second major resistance level at $38,185.
Barring an extended rally through the afternoon, resistance at $38,000 would likely continue to limit the upside.
A move back through the $39,000 levels, however, would bring the 38.2% FIB of $41,592 into play. The third major resistance level sits at $41,237.
Looking beyond the support and resistance levels, the 50 EMA has narrowed on the 100 EMA supporting the early upside.
A fall back through the first major resistance level to sub-$36,000 levels would bring sub-$35,000 levels into play.
Barring an extended sell-off throughout the afternoon, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the first major support level at $33,848.
