The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – January 29th, 2021

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rallied by 9.70% on Thursday. Partially reversing a 6.45% slide from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $33,373.0.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $29,918.0 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $28,938, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $33,800.0.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $32,251 and the 38.2% FIB of $33,008.

Falling short of the second major resistance level at $34,080, Bitcoin eased back to end the day at sub-$33,500 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the recent sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend.

Polkadot fell by 0.58% to buck the trend on the day.

It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the pivot level at $32,364 to bring the first major resistance level at $34,809 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $34,300.0.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $35,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $37,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $36,246.

Failure to avoid a fall through the 23.6% FIB and the $32,364 pivot would bring the first major support level at $30,927 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$30,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $28,482.
