The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, with Bitcoin falling back to sub-$8,000 levels.

For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend.

Tezos led the way on Tuesday, gaining 2.15%. Binance Coin (+1.38%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.28%), EOS (+0.29%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.16%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.49%) also found support.

BTC/USD 11/03/20 Daily Chart

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through to $7,957 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $8,137.0 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $8,000 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $8,180 should limit any upside.

Failure to move through $7,957 levels could see Bitcoin struggle throughout the day.

A fall back through to sub-$7,850 levels would bring the first major support level at $7,733.6 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $7,553.4.
