Bitcoin fell by 1.68% on Friday. Partially reversing a 4.11% rally from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,426.1.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $9,618.8 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $9,773.67, Bitcoin fell to a mid-afternoon intraday low $9,352.0.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $9,261.57, Bitcoin recovered to $9,400 levels to limit the loss.

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.

The Rest of the Pack

Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day for the majors on Friday.

Ethereum and Tezos bucked the trend on the day, with gains of 0.10% and 1.32% respectively.

It was a bearish day for the rest of the pack, however.

Stellar’s Lumen and Monero’s XMR fell by 2.20% and by 1.96% respectively to lead the way down.

Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.28%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.57%), and Tron’s TRX (-1.08%) weren’t far behind.

Binance Coin (-0.53%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.84%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.52%), EOS (-0.02%), and Litecoin (-0.63%) saw relatively modest losses.

In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to an early Monday low $238.04bn before rising to an early Friday high $263.53bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $258.16bn.

BTC/USD 30/05/20 Daily Chart

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through to $9,470 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $9,579.27 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $9,500 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $9,500 would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level.

In the event of another extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $9,732.43 would likely come into play.

Failure to move through to $9,470 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red.

A fall back through the morning low $9,366.0 would bring the first major support level at $9,312.47 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer well clear of the second major support level at $9,198.83.
