This Morning

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

Elsewhere, it was also a bearish start to the day. Tron’s TRX and Stellar’s Lumen fell by 1.52% and by 1.31% respectively to lead the way down early on.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through to $6,230 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $6,397.93 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the 23.6% FIB of $6,300.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, the 23.6% FIB would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level.

Failure to move through to $6,230 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red.

A fall back through to the morning low $6,181.1 would bring the first major support level at $6,076.03 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should continue to steer well clear of the second major support level at $5,902.07.
