This Morning

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

Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.

Stellar’s Lumen led the way, rallying by 3.46%. Binance Coin bucked the trend early on, however, falling by 0.27%.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through to $7,200 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $7,255.93 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $7,177.0

Barring another broad-based crypto rally, resistance at $7,200 would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level.

In the event of a broad-based crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $7,378.87 would likely come into play.

Failure to move through to $7,200 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse.

A fall through to sub-$7,040 levels would bring the first major support level at $6,918.13 into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer of the second major support level at $6,703.27.
