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

The Rest of the Pack

Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bullish day for the majors.

Binance Coin and Ripple’s XRP led the way, rallying by 8.20% and 8.97% respectively.

Cardano’s ADA (+5.10%), Monero’s XMR (+6.90%), Stellar’s Lumen (+5.31%), and Tron’s TRX (+4.95%) also saw solid gains.

Bitcoin Cash ABC (+3.22%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.50%), EOS (+1.35%), Ethereum (+1.94%), Litecoin (+3.31%), and Tezos (+2.79%) trailed the leaders.

Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $163.00bn to a Wednesday high $191.26bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $188.71bn.

This Morning

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.37% to $6,844.4. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $6,752.0 to a high $6,861.4.

Elsewhere, it was also a bullish start to the day for the pack.

Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.89%) and Litecoin (+1.50%) led the way early on.

Monero’s XMR was flat at the time of writing, however, to trail the front runners.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move back through the first major resistance level at $6,856.47 to bring $7,000 levels into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the second major resistance level at $6,961.03.

Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $6,900 would likely leave Bitcoin short of the second major resistance level.

Failure to break back through the first major resistance level could see Bitcoin hit reverse.

A fall back through the morning low to sub-$6,690 levels would bring the first major support level at $6,581.67 into play.

Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should continue to steer well clear of the 23.6% FIB of $6,300.

The second major support level at $6,411.43 should limit any downside on the day.
