Following a choppy week for the majors last week, a Bitcoin move back through to $60,000 levels would deliver support to the broader market

In this article:

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 1.81% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 2.73% gain from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week down by 10.36% to $58,691.0.

A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to a late morning intraday low $58,603.0 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $58,182, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $60,050.0.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $60,618, however, Bitcoin fell back to end the day at sub-$59,000 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to sub-$56,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $28,814 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.

Crypto.com Coin jumped by 26.39% to lead the way.

Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.12%), Chainlink (+2.48%), and Polkadot (+1.46%) also bucked the trend on the day.

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

Cardano’s ADA fell by 4.55% to lead the way down.

Binance Coin (-3.37%), Ethereum (-3.47%), Litecoin (-2.44%), and Ripple’s XRP (-3.41%) also joined Bitcoin in the red.

It was also a mixed week ending 21st November for the majors.

Crypto.com Coin surged by 65.35%, with Polkadot (+1.02%) also finding support to buck the broader market trend.

Litecoin tumbled by 20.72% to lead the way down, however, with Chainlink (-13.85%) also deep in the red.

Binance Coin (-10.16%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-10.46%), Cardano’s ADA (-9.95%), and Ripple’s XRP (-10.67%) also saw heavy losses.

Ethereum fell by a more modest 7.86% in the week, however.

In the week, the crypto total market rose to a Monday high $2,904bn before falling to a Friday low $2,393bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $2,567bn.

Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Thursday high 44.28% before falling to a Friday low 42.34%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 42.92%.

This Morning

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through the $59,115 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $59,626 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $59,000 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $60,050.0 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of an extended rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $63,000 levels before easing back. The second major resistance level sits at $60,562.

Failure to move through the $59,115 pivot would bring the first major support level at $58,179 back into play.

Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$57,000 levels. The second major support level at $57,668 should limit the downside.
