The Crypto Daily Movers and Shakers August 2nd, 2020 – Yahoo Finance

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rallied by 4.01% on Saturday. Following a 2.04% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,804.7.

A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $11,227 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $11,080, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $11,843.0.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $11,530 and the second major resistance level at $11,710.

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.

Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Saturday.

Ethereum (+11.69%), Ripples XRP (+12.06%), and Stellars Lumen (+10.76%) led the way.

Bitcoin Cash ABC (+6.05%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+5.97%), EOS (+6.71%), Litecoin (+6.01%), Moneros XMR (+5.94%), and Tezos (+6.87%) also found strong support.

Binance Coin (+4.64%), Cardanos ADA (+3.79%), and Trons TRX (+3.92%) trailed the front runners on the day.

In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $285.49bn to a Saturday high $349.72bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $348.82bn.

Bitcoins dominance rose from a Monday low 62.44% to a Tuesday high 64.58% before sliding back. At the time of writing, Bitcoins dominance stood at 62.69.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.04% to $11,800. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $11,788 before rising to a high $11,845.

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

Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.

Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.09%), Ethereum (+0.45%), Moneros XMR (+0.30%), Stellars Limen (+0.58%), and Trons TRX (+0.87%) found early support.

It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however, with Litecoin down by 0.87% to lead the way down.

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $11,625 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $12,023.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturdays high $11,843.

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 $12,241.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $11,625 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,407 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $11,009 and sub-$11,000 levels.
