Coins of crypto currency are presented on a dark background. Virtual money concept.

Binance Coin Price Support

It’s been bearish but also a relatively choppy 1^st half of the week for Binance Coin.

A bearish start to the week saw Binance Coin slide by 3.7% on Sunday, leading to a Monday low $16.47.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $16.17, Binance Coin rallied to a Monday current week high $19.15.

Binance Coin broke through the first major resistance level at $18.68 before hitting reverse.

The pullback saw Binance Coin fall through the first major resistance level to wrap up the day at sub-$18 levels on Monday.

Following a 5.03% rally on Monday, Binance Coin tumbled by 3.7% on Tuesday, leading to a Tuesday current week low $16.00.

Binance Coin also fell through the first major support level at $16.17 before wrapping up the day at $17 levels. The first major resistance level at $18.68 had pinned Binance Coin back in the early part of the day on Tuesday.

For the current week, Sunday through Tuesday, Binance Coin was down by 2.59% to $17.28.

Just the 1-day in the green out of 3 limited the downside in the 1^st half of the week.

The near-term bearish trend remained intact, supported by the late 2019 reversal and mid-March’s swing lo $6.42.

It’s had been a relatively bullish start to the year before the current downtrend. Having been up by as much as 101% year-to-date, Binance Coin was up by 26.59% year-to-date.

For the bulls, Binance Coin would need to break through the 62% FIB of $27.3 to form a near-term bullish trend.

At the time of writing, Binance Coin was down by 0.69% to 17.16. A bearish start to the day on Wednesday saw Binance Coin fall from an early morning high $17.34 to a low $17.05.

Binance Coin steered clear of the major support and resistance levels in the early part of the day.

For the remainder of the week

Binance Coin would need to move back through to $18 levels to support another run at the first major resistance level at $18.68.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Binance Coin to break back through to $18 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally ahead of the weekend, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another breakout, the 38.2% FIB of $19.4 and second major resistance level at $19.62 could come into play.

Failure to move back through to $18 levels could see Binance Coin fall deeper into the red.

A pullback through to sub-$17 levels would bring the first major support level at $16.17 back into play.

Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Binance Coin should avoid a fall back to sub-$16 levels.

Looking at the Technical Indicators

Major Support Level: $16.17

Major Resistance Level: $18.68

23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $14.4

38.2% FIB Retracement Level: $19.4

62% FIB Retracement Level: $27.3

Altcoins Weekly Analysis – Binance Coin, Litecoin and Tron’s TRX – 10/05/20

Binance Coin

Binance Coin fell by 4.33% in the week ending 9^th May. Partially reversing a 5.46% gain from the previous week, Binance Coin ended the week at $16.79.

It was a mixed start to the week, with Binance Coin rising to an early Sunday high $18.04 before hitting reverse.

Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $19.49, Binance Coin slid to an early Thursday intraweek low $15.26.

Finding support at the first major support level at $15.25, Binance Coin found support late in the week to return to $17 levels. Binance Coin briefly revisited $18 levels on Thursday before easing back. A Thursday intraday high $18.26 came up short of the first major resistance level at $19.49, however.

4 consecutive days in the red, which included a 2.47% and 3.15% fall on Sunday and Wednesday, delivered the losses.

2 consecutive days in the green before a Saturday pullback did limit the damage at the end of the week, however.

For the week ahead

Binance Coin would need to break through to $16.80 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $18.28 into play.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Binance Coin to break back through to $18 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rally, resistance at $17 would likely leave Binance Coin short of the first major resistance level at $18.28.

In the event of a breakout, Binance Coin could test resistance at $19 levels before any pullback.

Failure to move back through to $16.80 levels could see Binance Coin struggle throughout the week.

A fall back through to the second major support level at $13.77 would bring sub-$12 levels into play.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Binance Coin should steer clear of the third major support level at $10.77.

At the time of writing, Binance Coin was down by 11.26% to $14.895. A particularly bearish start to the week saw Binance Coin slide from an early morning high $17.02 to a low $13.62.

Binance Coin fell through the first major support level at $15.28 and the second major support level at $13.77.

Litecoin

Litecoin fell by 4.71% in the week ending 9^th May. Partially reversing a 10.85% rally from the previous week, Litecoin ended the week at $46.94.

A mixed start to the week saw Litecoin rise to an early Sunday intraweek high $49.99 before hitting reverse.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $52.42, Litecoin slid to a Wednesday intraweek low $44.47.

Litecoin fell through the first major support level at $44.65 before finding support from the broader market.

Ending a run of 4 consecutive days in the red, Litecoin briefly bounced back to $49 levels. 2 consecutive days in the green cut the deficit for the week before a Saturday reversal.

For the week ahead

Litecoin would need to move back through to $47.20 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $49.80.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Litecoin to break out from the first major support level at $44.28.

Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $45 would likely leave Litecoin short of the first major resistance level at $49.80.

Failure to move through to $47.20 levels could see Litecoin come under further pressure.

A fall back through to $40 levels would bring the third major support level at $36.09 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Litecoin should steer clear of sub-$40 support levels.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was down by 11.18% to $41.69. A bearish start to the week saw Litecoin fall from an early morning high $47.00 to a low $40.03.

Litecoin fell through the first major support level at $44.28 and the second major support level at $41.61.

Tron’s TRX

Tron’s TRX fell by 1.57% in the week ending 9^th May. Following a 16.64% rally from the previous week, Tron’s TRX ended the week at $0.016135.

A choppy start to the week saw Tron’s TRX fall to a Monday intraweek low $0.015132 before finding support.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $0.01455, Tron’s TRX bounced back to a Tuesday intraweek high 0.016650.

Falling short of the first major resistance level at $0.01737, Tron’s TRX slid back to $0.0154 levels before finding support.

Continuing to steer clear of the major support levels, Tron’s TRX returned to $0.0165 levels.

5 days in the red delivered the loss for the week.

For the week ahead

Tron’s TRX would need to move through to $0.016 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $0.01681.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Tron’s TRX to break out from the first major support level at $0.01529.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound in the week, resistance at $0.016 would likely leave Tron’s TRX short of the first major resistance level.

Failure to move through to $0.016 levels could see Tron’s TRX struggle throughout the week.

A fall back through to sub-$0.014 levels would bring the third major support level at $0.01294 into play.

Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Tron’s TRX should steer well clear of sub-$0.012 levels.

At the time of writing, Tron’s TRX was down by 11.99% to $0.014201. A bearish start to the week saw Tron’s TRX slide from an early morning high $0.01665 to a low $0.01300.

The Crypto Meltdown – Bitcoin Visits sub-$10,000 as the Bears Bite

Bitcoin tumbled by 7.72% on Wednesday. Following on from a 4.44% slide on Tuesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,064.6.

A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early intraday high $10,909 to a late morning low $10,403.

Steering clear of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $10,646.67.

Finding support through the late morning, Bitcoin recovered through the first major support level before hitting reverse.

A broad-based crypto sell-off saw Bitcoin slide to a late intraday low $9,966 before moving back through to $10,000 levels.

Bitcoin slid through the first major support level at $10,646.67 and second major support level at $10,389.33 to visit sub-$10,000 for the first time since 1^st August.

A recent bearish run that has seen Bitcoin in the red on 5 of the last 6 days reversed gains from earlier in the month. For the month of August, Bitcoin was down by 0.23% to the end of Wednesday and down by 16.13% year-to-date.

Elsewhere

Across the top 10 cryptos, it was a sea of red for the majors.

Tron’s TRX led the way down, sliding by 14.2%. Ripple’s XRP (-11.55%), Ethereum (-10.64%), Litecoin (-10.27%), and EOS (-10%) also saw particularly heavy losses.

Stellar’s Lumen and Bitcoin Cash SV had the lightest losses on the day, with the pair falling by 7.1% and by 5.99% respectively.

The crypto meltdown led the market cap down from $285.57bn to a Wednesday low $262.62bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $265.33bn.

Bitcoin’s more modest sell-off on the day led to its dominance level recovering to 68% levels. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 68.3%.

For those looking towards Bitcoin and the broader crypto market as a safe haven, the meltdown came amidst a sell-off across the global equity markets on Wednesday.

Fears of a recession, resulting in bond yield inversions, led to investors pulling out of all risky assets, including the cryptos.

This Morning

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.12% to $10,177. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin bounce from a morning low $10,066.4 to a high $10,249 before easing back.

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

Elsewhere, there was relief across the crypto-board following the Wednesday meltdown.

Tron’s TRX led the way early, up by 2.27% at the time of writing. Litecoin (+1.39%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.12%), Ethereum (+1.07%), and Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.01%) also found strong support.

Binance Coin trailed the majors early on, rising by just 0.32%.

For the Bitcoin day ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through to $10,310 levels to support the recovery of Wednesday’s losses. A breakthrough to $10,310 would bring the first major resistance level at $10,660.4 into play.

Bitcoin would need the support of the broader market, however, to break out from $10,300 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, Bitcoin will likely fall well short of Wednesday’s high $10,909 and $11,000 levels.

Failure to move through to $10,310 levels could see Bitcoin take another hit. A fall through to sub-$10,000 would bring the 38.2% FIB of $9,734 and first major support level at $9,717.4 into play.

Barring another crypto meltdown, Bitcoin should steer well clear of the second major support level at $9,370.2.
