The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – July 26th, 2020

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 1.63% on Saturday. Reversing a 0.58% loss from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,714.9.

It was bullish day, with Bitcoin rallying from an early morning intraday low $9,555.5 to a late intraday high $9,754.5.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $9,645.5 and second major resistance level at $9,731.9 before easing back.

A late pullback saw Bitcoin fall back to sub-$9,700 levels before wrapping up the day at $9,700 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the early July pullback to sub-$9,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend.

Cardano’s ADA rallied by 17.76% to lead the way.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $9,675 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,794.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $9,754.5.

Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $9,874 and resistance at $10,000. The third major resistance level sits at $10,073.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $9,675 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $9,595 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major resistance level at $9,476.
