Bitcoin rose by 1.23% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 1.72% fall from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week down by 1.87% to $9,125.4.

It was a mixed start to the day for Bitcoin. In the early hours, Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $8,946.6 before finding support.

Steering clear of the 23.6% FIB of $8,900 and the first major support level at $8,846.03, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $9,193.2.

Coming up against the first major resistance level at $9,193.53, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$9,100 levels.

Finding late support, however, Bitcoin recovered to $9,100 levels ahead of the day end.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact in spite of the recent 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.

The Rest of the Pack

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

Bitcoin Cash ABC and Cardano’s ADA led the way, with gains of 4.22% and 3.82% respectively.

Binance Coin (-3.63%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-3.19%), Litecoin (-3.82%), Monero’s XMR (-2.03%), and Ripple’s XRP (-4.77%) also struggled.

BTC/USD 29/06/20 Daily Chart

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would avoid a fall through the $9,090 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,230.2.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Sunday’s high $9,193.2.

Barring an extended crypto rebound, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $9,335.0.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $9,090 pivot level could see Bitcoin struggle later in the day.

A fall back through to sub-$9,000 would bring the first major support level at $8,983.6 into play.

In the event of another extended crypto sell-off, the 23.6% FIB of $8,900 and the second major support level at $8,841.8 may be tested.
