For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from the 62% FIB of $10,034 to form a near-term bullish trend.

Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Friday.
Cardano’s ADA rallied by 8.20% to lead the way.
EOS (+5.24%), Ethereum (+4.39%), Tezos (+6.07%), and Tron’s TRX (+4.67%) also found strong support.
Binance Coin (+3.17%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+3.26%), Litecoin (+3.66%), Monero’s XMR (+2.37%), Ripple’s XRP (+3.30%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+2.31%) trailed the front runners.
Bitcoin Cash SV saw a modest gain of 1.48% on the day.
In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $268.43bn before falling to a Thursday low $239.96bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $253.79bn.

This Morning
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.89% to $9,243.5. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $9,162.3 to a high $9,266.7.
Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.
Binance Coin (+1.05%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.87), and Ethereum (+0.84%) led the way early on.
Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.31%) and Tezos (-0.15%) bucked the trend at the start of the day.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid sub-$9,200 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $9,309.13 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $9,269.0.
Barring an extended crypto rebound, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside.
In the event of an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $9,455.87 would likely come into play. Resistance at $9,500 may limit any upside, however.
Failure to avoid sub-$9,200 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse.
A fall back through to sub-$9,120 levels would bring the first major support level at $8,975.53 into play.
Barring another extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $8,788.67.
