Ripple’s XRP and Polkadot slid by 5.27% and by 5.47% respectively to lead the way down.
Binance Coin (-1.86%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.67%), Crypto.com Coin (-2.38%), Ethereum (-0.70%), and Litecoin (-0.16%) also saw red.
It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however.
Cardano’s ADA rallied by 4.20% to lead the way, with Chainlink (+0.57%) also joining Bitcoin in the green.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, it was a bullish start to the day.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $48,245 to bring the first major resistance level at $50,074 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $50,000 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $52,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $51,317.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $48,245 pivot would bring the first major support level at $47,002 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off on the day, Bitcoin should steer clear of the 23.6% FIB of $45,501 and the second major support level at $45,173.
