Elsewhere, it was a bullish start to the day. Stellar’s Lumen was up by 2.46%, at the time of writing, to lead the way.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through the $11,233 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,918.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from $11,500 levels.

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

In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $12,782.

Failure to move through the $11,233 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $10,369 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,500 levels on the day.
