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 the 62% FIB of $10,034 to form a near-term bullish trend.

Binance Coin, Cardano’s ADA, and Tezos rallied by 3.61%, 4.75%, and by 3.19% to lead the way.

Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.18%), Litecoin (+0.97%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.29%) also found support on the day.

Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.62%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.30%), Ethereum (-0.09%), and Tron’s TRX (-1.22%) saw red early on.

Bitcoin Cash SV led the rest of the majors, however, with a 1.28% gain.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid sub-$9,700 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $9,945.67 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $9,878.0.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, the 62% FIB of $10,034 and the second major resistance level at $10,121.93 would likely come into play.

Failure to avoid sub-$9,700 levels could see Bitcoin fall deep into the red.

A fall back through to sub-$9,700 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,525.47 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $9,281.53.
