Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 0.17% on Tuesday. Following on from a 1.07% decline on Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $15,311.5.
It was a range-bound start to the day. Bitcoin rose to a late morning intraday high $15,474.0 before hitting reverse.
Falling well short of the first major resistance level at $15,839, Bitcoin slid to a mid-afternoon intraday low $15,077.0.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $14,836, Bitcoin revisited $15,400 levels before easing back into the red.
The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $15,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend.
The Rest of the Pack
Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday.
Bitcoin Cash ABC (-2.49%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.94%), Crypto.com Coin (-0.86%), and Litecoin (-2.23%) saw red to buck the trend on the day.
It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however.
Chainlink rallied by 4.24% to lead the way.
Ethereum (+1.36%), Polkadot (+1.83%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.41%) also found relatively strong support.
Binance Coin (+0.51%) and Cardano’s ADA (+0.31%) saw modest gains on the day.

This Morning
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.83% to $15,438.4. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $15,292.0 before rising to a high $15,439.0.
Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
Elsewhere, it was a bullish start to the day for the majors.
At the time of writing, Litecoin was up by 3.11% to lead the pack.
For the Bitcoin Day Ahead
Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $15,288 to bring the first major resistance level at $15,498 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $15,500 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $15,474.0 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $15,685 and resistance at $15,700.
Failure to avoid a fall through the $15,288 pivot would bring the first major support level at $15,101 into play.
