This Morning

Elsewhere, it was a particularly bearish start to the day.
At the time of writing, Monero’s XMR was down by 2.56% to lead the way down.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $11,633 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,784.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from $11,500 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $12,037 before any pullback.
Failure to move through the $11,633 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,380 into play.
Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should avoid the second major support level at $11,229.
In the event of an extended sell-off, Bitcoin could test support at $11,000 before any recovery.
