The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – July 26th, 2021

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 3.29% on Sunday. Following a 1.87% gain on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 11.30% to $35,415.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $33,886.0 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $33,625, Bitcoin rallied to a final hour intraday high $35,444.0.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $34,730 and the second major resistance level at $35,181 to end the day at $35,400 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest return to $29,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.

The Rest of the Pack

Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Sunday.

Polkadot slid by 3.32%, with Cardano’s ADA (-0.32%) and Ripple’s XRP (-0.48%) also seeing red to buck the trend.

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

Chainlink and Litecoin rose by 1.26% and by 1.32% respectively to lead the way.

Binance Coin (+0.37%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.77%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.53%), and Ethereum (+0.29%) saw modest gains, however.

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

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV was up by 3.82% to lead the way.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid the $34,915 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $35,944 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from this morning’s high $35,886.0.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $36,000 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $37,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $36,473.

A fall through the $34,915 pivot would bring the first major support level at $34,386 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$33,000 levels. The second major support level at $33,357 should limit the downside.
