It's been a choppy start to the day. A Bitcoin move back through to $11,200 levels would signal a broad-based rebound.

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 1.70% on Wednesday. Reversing a 1.02% fall from Tuesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,117.

It was another mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $10,851 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $10,594, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $11,355.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,267 before easing back to sub-$11,200 levels.

The late pullback saw Bitcoin fall back through the first major resistance level at $11,267.

The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $11,000 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 a mixed day on Wednesday.

Cardano’s ADA slid by 6.46% to lead the way down.

Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.54%), Monero’s XMR (-2.76%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-2.36%) also saw relatively heavy losses.

Binance Coin (-1.53%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.06%), Litecoin (-1.20%), Tezos (-1.88%) and Tron’s TRX (-0.12%) saw more modest losses on the day.

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

Ripple’s XRP rallied by 5.57% to lead the way.

EOS (+0.79%) and Ethereum (+0.20%) also found support.

In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $285.49bn to a Monday high $335.81bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $318.81bn.

Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 62.43% to a Tuesday high 64.57% before easing back. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.14.

This Morning

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.35% to $11,077.8. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $11,117.4 to a low $11,004.0.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.

At the time of writing, Monero’s XMR and Bitcoin Cash SV were up by 1.04% and 0.92% respectively to lead the way.

Binance Coin (+0.05%), Ethereum (+0.16%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.23%) also found early support.

It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, with Ripple’s XRP down by 1.10% to lead the way down.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through the $11,116 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,380.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Wednesday’s high $11,355.

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

In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $11,601.

Failure to move through the $11,116 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $10,852 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,800 levels and the second major support level at $10,588.
