The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – July 27th, 2020

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 2.40% on Sunday. Following on from a 1.63% gain on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 7.77% to $9,948.4.

It was another mixed start to the day. Bitcoin slipped to an early morning intraday low $9,674.8 before rallying to a late morning intraday high $10,190.0.

Bitcoin broke through the day’s major resistance levels before falling back to sub-$9,900 levels.

The pullback saw Bitcoin fall back through the third major resistance level at $10,073 and the second major resistance level at $9,874.

Finding late support, however, Bitcoin broke back through the second major resistance level to end the day at $9,900 levels.

Resistance at $10,000 pinned Bitcoin back through the 2^nd half of the day.

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.

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

Monero’s XMR rallied by 6.16% to lead the way.

Cardano’s ADA (+3.43%), Ethereum (+1.90%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.28%) also joined Bitcoin in the green.

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

Ethereum was up by 1.79% to lead the way early on.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $9,938 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $10,201.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $10,100 levels.

Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $10,190 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $10,453.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $9,938 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $9,686 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer well clear of the second major resistance level at $9,423.
