The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – October 1st, 2021

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rallied by 5.52% on Thursday. Following a 1.18% gain on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the month down by 7.06% to $43,830.0.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $41,432.0 before making a move.

While steering clear of the first major support level at $40,687, Bitcoin fell through the 38.2% FIB of $41,592.

Finding early support, however, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $44,122.0.

The rally saw Bitcoin break through the first major resistance level at $42,489 and the second major resistance level at $43,449.

Bitcoin also broke back through the 38.2% FIB of $41,592 to end the day at $43,800 levels.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest return to sub-$40,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need a sustained fall through the 62% FIB of $27,237 to form a near-term bearish trend.

Elsewhere, it was a bullish start to the day.

At the time of writing, Crypto.com was up by 2.57% to lead the way.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid the $43,128 pivot to bring the first major resistance level at $44,824 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $44,122.0.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance $45,000 would likely cap the upside.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $47,000 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $45,818.

A fall through the $43,128 would bring the first major support level at $42,134 into play.

Barring another extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $40,438. The 38.2% FIB of $41,592 should limit the downside.
