Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $10,543.33, Bitcoin slid to an early evening intraday low $9,959.
The reversal saw Bitcoin slide through the first major support level at $10,104.33 to sub-$10,000 for the first time since 2nd August.
Finding late support from the broader market, Bitcoin recovered to $10,000 levels to limit the loss on the day.
For Bitcoin, the extended bullish trend remained intact. Bitcoin continued to hold above the 38.2% FIB of $9,734 having steered well clear of sub-$9,000 levels and the 62% FIB of $7,245.
The Rest of the Pack
Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed bag.
Bucking the trend on the day was Litecoin, which rose by 1.19%.
It was red for the rest of the majors, however.
Monero’s XMR led the way down on the day, sliding by 4.09%. Stellar’s Lumen and EOS also saw heavy losses, the pair falling by 2.73% and by 2.49% respectively.
On the downside, Ethereum (-0.55%) and Ripple’s XRP (-0.21%) saw modest losses on the day.
A relatively bearish start to the week saw the total crypto market cap fall from a Monday high $267.95bn to a Tuesday low $258.63bn. At the time of writing, the total crypto market cap stood at $260.30bn.
Bitcoin’s dominance slipped back further to 69.5%, with Bitcoin amongst the bigger losers in the current week.
This Morning
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.01% to $10,120. A particularly choppy start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $10,300 before hitting reverse.
Bitcoin came within range of the first major resistance level at $10,360.33 before falling to a low $10,080.
In spite of the pullback, Bitcoin steered clear of the first major support level at $9,920.33.
Elsewhere, Monero’s XMR led the way, up by 2.01% at the time of writing. Ethereum and Stellar’s Lumen joined Monero’s XMR in the green, with gains of 0.18% and 0.58% respectively.
The rest of the majors were in the red, with Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.50%) and EOS (-0.85%) leading the way down.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move back through to $10,160 levels to support another run at the first major resistance level at $10,360.33.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $10,300.
Barring a broad-based crypto rally, Tuesday’s high $10,399 and first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a broad-based rebound, the second major resistance level at $10,599.67 could come into play.
Failure to move back through to $10,160 levels could see Bitcoin fall for a 4th consecutive day.
A pullback through the morning low $10,080 would bring the first major support level at $9.920.33 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off through the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$9,900 levels.
