The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest visit 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 another mixed day on Friday.
Binance Coin (+1.99%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.49%), and Tron’s TRX (+3.35%) bucked the trend on the day.
It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however.
Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.94), Cardano’s ADA (-3.29%), EOS (-1.86%), Ethereum (-1.25%), Stellar’s Lumen (-2.65%), and Tezos (-3.42%) struggled on the day.
Litecoin (-0.68%), Monero’s XMR (-0.55%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.49%) saw relatively modest losses, however.

It was a bearish start to the day for the rest of the majors, however.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $10,949 pivot level to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,073.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to breakout from Friday’s high $11,064.0.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and current week high $11,105 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $11,188 before any pullback.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $10,949 pivot would bring the first major support level at $10,834 into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$10,700 levels. The second major support level at $10,710 should limit any downside.
