Binance Coin (-7.91%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-7.33%), Monero’s XMR (-7.14%), Ripple’s XRP (-7.34%), and Tezos (-7.00%) led the way down.

Bitcoin Cash ABC (-4.70%), EOS (-4.04%), and Litecoin (-4.68%) saw relatively modest losses on the day.

It was a mixed week for the majors, however, with Sunday’s sell-off leaving a number in the red.

Bitcoin Cash SV fell by 6.95% in the week ending 29^th March to lead the way down. EOS and Tezos also saw red, with losses of 0.60% and 0.86% respectively.

It was a bullish week for the rest of the pack, however. Monero’s XMR and Ripple’s XRP rallied by 15.73% and 10.28% respectively to lead the way.

Cardano’s ADA (+3.76%), Litecoin (+4.71%), Stellar’s Lumen (+3.67%), and Tron’s TRX (+4.22%) also found strong support.

Binance Coin (+1.26%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.19%), and Ethereum (+1.67%) trailed the pack.

This Morning

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 2.08% to $6,015.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $5,880.9 to a high $6,036.7.

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

Elsewhere, it was also a bullish start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.54%) and Tezos (+3.90%) led the way early on.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through to $6,050 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $6,150.93 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $6,036.7.

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

Failure to move through to $6,050 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse.

A fall back through the morning low $5,880.9 would bring the first major support level at $5,763.53 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer well clear of the second major support level at $5,634.37.
