This Morning

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move back through to $8,090 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $8,256.8.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from $8,100 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Sunday’s high $8,260.2 and the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

Failure to move back through to $8,090 levels could see Bitcoin spend another day in the red.

A fall back through the morning low $8,023 would bring the first major support level at $7,926.6 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $7,763.2.
