Bitcoin Nears Crucial Support Level

Bitcoin held on to its gain last week after recovering from the lows of $10,103. The topmost cryptocurrency maintained its dominance over 65% leaving little room for the altcoins. Bakkt launching the testing phase Bitcoin future has helped in reviving the sentiments that went haywire after President Donald Trump’s comment and Senate hearing of Facebook’s Libra Cryptocurrency. Analysts are seeing Bakkt launch as a huge positive for the cryptocurrency market with Sam Doctor, an analyst at Fundstrat stating that there is ‘Institutional anticipation’ for the Bakkt Bitcoin future. Realized Cap — a significant but underreported metric brought in good news for the market as it clocked record highs, hitting a market cap of $93 billion. For the uninitiated, the realized cap is calculated by multiplying the price at which the Bitcoin was last traded with the number of coins involved in each trade.

On the technical front, the price movement has been consolidating in a broad range of $10,150 to $11,500 from two weeks. Both longs and shorts sides look indecisive at the current juncture, waiting for a significant trigger to take the market either way. On a weekly basis, Bitcoin is holding firm above it's 50 and 200 DEMA calming down the fear of Bear takeover. However, intraday movements are expected to be volatile with trading range increase in the coming days. The support level for Bitcoin is seen around $10,500 followed by $10,100 whereas resistance can be witnessed at $10,800 levels followed by $11,100.
