Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 1.59% on Saturday. Reversing a 1.52% fall from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $11,764.
It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $11,523 before finding support.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $11,304, Bitcoin rose to a mid-day intraday high $11,796.
Falling short of the first major resistance level at $11,878, Bitcoin fell back to a low $11,601.
Avoiding sub-$11,600 levels, Bitcoin moved back through to $11,700 levels to deliver the upside on the day.
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.

Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.
Cardano’s ADA and Tezos led the way down, with losses of 1.23% and 1.38% respectively.
Binance Coin (-0.75%), EOS (-0.11%), Litecoin (-0.21%), Monero’s XMR and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.44%) also saw red.
Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.80%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.80%), Ethereum (+0.06%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.09%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.47%) found early support.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $11,694 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $11,866.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $11,796.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Saturday’s high would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could eye the second major resistance level at $11,967.
A fall through the $11,694 pivot level would bring the first major support level at $11,593 into play.
Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$11,400 support levels. The second major support level at $11,421 should limit the downside.
