Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $6,874.33 and the second major resistance level at $7,073.67.

The first visit to $7,000 levels since 12^th March was short-lived, however, with Bitcoin sliding back to sub-$7,000 levels.

The pullback saw Bitcoin fall through the major resistance levels to limit the upside on the day.

The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June 2019’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed by the March swing lo $4,000.

For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $10,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend.

Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.33%) and Monero’s XMR (+4.12%) led the way on Thursday.

Binance Coin (+2.11%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.84%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.86%), Ethereum (+3.96%), Tezos (+2.81%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.81%) also found strong support.

EOS (+1.28%), Litecoin (+1.63%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.53%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.16%) trailed the back.

Ripple’s XRP fell by 0.27% to buck the trend early on.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through to $6,900 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $7,202.8 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,000 levels.

Barring another crypto rally, resistance at $7,000 would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level.

Failure to move back through to $6,900 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red.

A fall back through the morning low $6,730.1 would bring the first major support level at $6,499.3 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer of the 23.6% FIB of $6,300.
