The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – May 3rd, 2021

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 2.02% on Sunday. Reversing a 0.25% gain from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 15.22% to $56,605.0.

A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $57,900.0 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $58,400, Bitcoin fell to a mid-morning intraday low $56,050.0.

Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $57,074 before briefly revisiting $57,300 levels.

Failing to move back into positive territory, Bitcoin fell back through the first major support level to end the day at sub-$57,000 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact supported by the return to $58,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide 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 mixed day on Sunday.

Polkadot rose by 1.39% to lead the way, with Binance Coin (+0.21%), Ethereum (+0.11%) also finding support.

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

Ripple’s XRP slid by 5.72% to lead the way down, with Chainlink ending the day down by 4.27%.

Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.17%), Cardano’s ADA (-1.84%) and Crypto.com Coin (-2.93%), and Litecoin (-2.86%) also struggled.

In the week, the crypto total market fell to a Monday low $1,778bn before rising to a Saturday high $2,229bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $2,208bn.

Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 51.73% before falling to a Sunday low 48.76%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 49.01%.

This Morning

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 2.05% to $57,762.6. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $56,574.0 to a high $58,279.0 before easing back.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $57,653 early on.

Elsewhere, it was a bullish start to the day.

At the time of writing, Ethereum and Ripple’s XRP were up by 3.16% and by 3.07% respectively to lead the way.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the first major resistance level at $57,653 to bring the second major resistance level at $58,702 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to breakout from the morning high $58,279.0.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $60,000 before any pullback. The third major resistance level sits at $60,552.

A fall back through the first major resistance level would bring the pivot at $56,852 and the first major support level at $55,803 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$55,000 levels. The second major support level at $55,002 should limit the downside.
